omg this was so helpful.. 🫶🏽😭

I've always used lever knitting but I always thought I was knitting wrong compared to other knitters I've seen. Thank you

I started continental and my fingers hurt so i go to english style and now im learning the flicking, tension is a problem in this, but practice i hope can improve

I knit though haven't done much lately

WELL, what amazing info, Knitting used to be for relaxing as well as production. TRUST USA to make it inot a competetion. Whoops is there anything they dont try to destroy. Interesting information, and appreciated, but I will stick to the old school western and Europena style. and leave USA right out of the picture

Could you kindly share the name of this knit stitch? Thank you for the nice video.

My mother is Welsh/Scottish and she does the flicking movement with her right hand. She learned that from her mother in Wales. I don't think it is American.

Flicking technique is how my mother knitted and how I learned. I'm in south africa.

Interesting! I'm actually German but my Grandmother and Mum always knitted in the English style, because we are right handed. Anyways I actually hold the thread on my right finger the same as you do on your left finger. And I hold it tighter, that's why I think that's easier and faster and more relaxing for your hands. What I have also seen is the way Miss Marple knits: she knits English style, but holds the needle like a pencil... I don't really like that, although it does look cool. What I don't like about the Continental style is that you have to "pick" up the thread. It can easily slip away. Anyways, great video!

Thank you for embracing all styles of knitting. I am weary with all of the ‘knit shaming” that goes on.

CD am

Great tutorial! You made me feel more skilled than I thought I was using the English Flicking method. Thank you! 😊

So glad that you decided not to use a stark white background. I will not watch videos that use do. The blue tone is more gentle and appealing for my eyes, therefore, making me more able to concentrate on your tutorial.

Hahahaha i sent this to my sister as she will get a giggle at how many styles there is... Who knows lol. Thanks for sharing

HERE IN TURKEY THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE KNIT WITH PUTTING THE YARN AROUND THEIR NECK, AND THEY USE THEIR THUMB TO KNIT 😒.AND THEY REALLY KNIT SO FAST BY THIS METHOD..I LOVE CONTINENTAL STYLE BUT HAVEN'T PRACTICE IT. I KNIT ENGLISH STYLE USING MY INDEX FINGER FOR 50 YEARS.

The old Shetland islanders were the fastest knitters, using a knitting belt or sheath,(different again), they are still very fast knitters, even when using two colours. The old ladies could knit two or three stitches a second, there is still film of them working, incredible to see,(or not see, a blur so fast).

You didn't try British knitting, where the right hand needle is held like a pencil, and the wool is curled round the needle tip with the first finger, been knitting for over sixty years, and saw recently, "English knitting" for the first time, looks most awkward, all that gripping of wool. British knitting ( as done by English, Irish, Welsh, and some Scots,)is held lightly in the left hand, and the right needle is held like a pencil, just balanced between thumb and finger pressure .

Russian style

Love this, thanks so much

Great video. 👍👌

That was very interesting seeing all the techniques all together like that. I’ve tried them all and settled on the continental method because I have become faster with that one. I learned with the English method and finally switched because I wanted to knit faster. I’m glad I did!

I'm an Irish cottage knitter from Italy. I've only seen it done this way in Italy as we used to have many avid knitters. It is a dying art unfortunately. I now live in the US and most are continental knitters which I find very awkward. Thanks so much for the video. It was well done.

I knit Continental and purl English style just cuz I find it easier

Hello, dear, fantastic video! I watch all videos and I learn a lot! Yours are amazing! I'm handicapped, my arms and fingers vibrate a lot as long as day lasts. Only while sleeping I'm static as I wanna be the whole day as a "normal" person. (It's because of accidental given too much medicaments over a long time given by doctors - over about several years. ) So I reached out to find something to help me to calm down, to make my vibration little and more little... but noone could help me. No docctors, no terapists. They all told me what I couldn't do any more. I didn't need all these people - Iewanted to be helped! So I started knitting, because knittingwise you need to know exactly what - and how - your hands and fingers move. All doctors and medicins laughed at me and said I should end thinking of knitting! I used a cone to fill some tea into my cup to drink!!! I didn't give up. After a lot of mistaken tries I found portugesian knitting and that was my recovery! I put the yarn around my neceor dover a hooked needle fitted on my T - Shirt, yarn in front, laying onto my right needle and I only need so little moves to knit! Purling is as much easier as you cant imagine: yarn in front of you and not onto any needle, just in front of you and you only need your right thump with a movement to the left while right needle moves a little to the right - and that's it, stitch is done! It's so easy! Best is, that from then on I started knitting: I made pullovers ( e.g. RVO and norwegian ones with 3 colors!!!), socks, loops, scarfs, bags and, that's new, I knit gloves with and without fingers!!! So I please you to try the portugesian style I think you will love it - and if only for long purling parts in your knitting. I never ever thought that it could be so easy to knit - especially purling! And please be so nice to make one osf your fantastic videos about portugesian style to let knitters see how easy knitting, purling at first, may be!!! It's helpful for everyone! Thank you! Nnorwegian knitting is wonderful to me, too, I do it nearly half of my knitting - times, but norwegian purling is way too difficult for me. Thank you so much for your wonderful video!

Thanks!

Great to see all the different techniques there are.🤗

I dont have good coordination in my left hand so I was starting to feel a bit of distress at the fact that I keep seeing people say that continental knitting is way easier on your hands or way faster when i really couldn't pick it up whatsoever, no matter how I tried to alter which finger does the tension, I'm glad to know that I'm not the only person who prefers using the flicking technique. It just makes so much more sense to my body to use my right hand to do the work when my strength is better in that hand. And I hate the awkward floaty index finger you get going on in continental too

I have been knitting with what you called the "American Flick" method. I knit very fast and one of my friends who teaches knitting told me that I knit as fast as anyone who knits continental. I have long fingers and I suppose this helps me.

I knit English method. Every tips helps, 🍕🍕🍕🍕

Omg I learned the under arm method from my aut when I was a little girl - still trying to learn continental so I can knit socks

Using the middle finger to purl while picking - just stop that. Your yarn is too loose and stretchy. Shorten the distance over the index finger and tighten it up and EITHER use the index finger to drop the yarn over (the step you are using the extra finger for) OR stick the right needle in deeper and lay it back against the yarn while drawing it back through. If the yarn is tensioned correctly you do not need the helper finger. Then you can FLY through those continental purls.

Hey make it your own so hold the yarn your way but use the needle the under arm way

Excellent tutorial! Although you say your a novice, you proceed with expertise & utmost professionalism. I really enjoyed this video, will be looking forward to more!

Your hands have the remarkable ability to knit the way a sewing machine dips its needle! You are truly incredible!

I start out as a crocheter so continental knitting seems to suit me more. I wanted to learn flicking so much but my hands just wouldn't listen to me and the tension just messy and couldn't keep it on the index finger.

That's not as fast or ergonomically comfortable for your hands like Eastern European knitting is.

You forgot Norweigian Purl! And combination method----picking with yarn in left hand on knit row and right hand held yarn flicking for purl row. OR, if you like left hand held yarn picking, but hate the purl as you do, do the purls backwards (very fast method) which results in twisted stitches--just knit them in the back of the stitch on the next row. This works well for large areas of stocking stitch, but can get confusing with fussier patterns. It will change your tension a bit too as you are using up the same amount of yarn for each stitch (whereas with the “proper” method, the purl stitch used more yarn than the knit stitch. This can result in a rather uneven stocking stitch fabric--which is why I use the backwards purl when I have a lot of st stitch. Just make notes as you go so you do ribbing the same for different parts of a sweater and so sleeves will be done with a consistent method. When I teach, I show all of these and have the person try a few while they are still open to choosing a method that feels good to them. Oh yes, there is aso Russian method, which is picking with yarn in left hand, but no tensioning. You just hang yarn over left index finger right on the left hand needle. It sounds simple, but I cannot entirely master it. It is, in my view, the very fastest method because there is absolutely no wasted movement. I actually learned it from a Polish girl and I wish I could get better at it.

Such pretty hands

A wonderful tutorial. I learned a lot, didn't realize there were so many ways to knit

How are you wrapping the yarn around your fingers. I saw that it's around your pinky but I cant tell exactly how its wrapped pr on the other fingers so I cant get any of these methods. will you send a video reply to show me

I am only ten and I am an expert at knitting and I am too lazy so I am speed knitting now

Thank you so much!! Really appreciate the video (^_^ )

Great video, thank you! I learned that I knit the continental way. I have never seen anyone knit like me but my Mom taught and that's the way I do it.

Thanks so much. Efficient AND Effective teaching presentation! 😊

I love sewing and in my winter knitting is what I do most. I also hold my yarn on my right between last two fingers. I also love how you show many style of knitting, I also subscribed and Thank you for your class video. Looking forward in seeing more from you. God bless!
