2AM and here I am knitting away in front of my computer screen. Why did I choose this time to learn to knit continental? LOL! Hey, how else is a mom going to spend a saturday night? I should go to sleep though but it was so peaceful and I keep meaning to learn knitting continental, after all I am a leftie in everything else I do. Who ever said it was a faster way to knit, we'll see about that. I am pretty s-l-o-w right now but speed may come sooner or later. It's all so ackward right now.
Usually when I learn something new I'll check out many links and then understand more how a stitch is done. This time it didn't really help as there seems to be many different ways to knit continental. Sure enough the 1st link I found was for combined knitting so I suppose it's a mix of styles. Modeknit has a few drawings to help with a combine way and then Glampyre has pictures for Continental. Scooping and knitting through the back of the loop. ACK! I'm all mixed up already! LOL! Only have 4 rows done, not worthy of a picture tonight, maybe tomorrow if I remember how I knitted this far. ;)
Ok, I'll go to sleep, after all, I already know I'll be treated to pancakes with fresh strawberries in the morning! :)
