Continental Knitting: $20
Class Description: Knitting Continental style involves holding the yarn in your left hand and “picking” it, as opposed to holding the yarn in your right hand and “throwing” it (English style). When you hold the yarn in your right hand, you have to let go of your knitting in order to “throw” the yarn around the needle when making a stitch. You also have to let go of your knitting in order to bring the yarn forward or back between the needles when switching between knitting and purling (when ribbing, for example).  When you hold the yarn in your left hand, you never have to let go of your needles.  If you’re interested in knitting more comfortably or with greater speed, this class is for you! This is also an important skill to know for two-handed color knitting.
