I found the Knitting Help videos and didn't know which knitting style to learn. My cursory research described the Continental Method as faster and easier; two words that spoke to my heart :-) So, that is what I learned and method I still use. Now that I have knitting friends (and I watch them throw the yarn), I am happy I made the choice that I did. Throwing the yarn looks like an extra step and another opportunity for me to mess up. The downside is that when I need assistance, I must rely on videos rather than knitters I know IRL.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6807099007054134176.post-30403427515525903152012-01-24T14:15:49.408-05:002012-01-24T14:15:49.408-05:00Have you considered knitting using the Continental...Have you considered knitting using the Continental Method (http://www.knittinghelp.com/video/play/seed-stitch-continental). I am only a beginner knitter, but I can manage a scarf or two (including using the seed/moss stitch) - enjoy it even without ever having thrown the yarn over =D<br /><br />I love that Granny Square Pillow; it looks fabulous. I am even more of a beginner with crocheting, but I am trying to give Granny Squares a go now and again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
