Right or Left Handed Knitting? Becca's Yarns

Do you knit right or left-handed? English or Continental? Throwing or Picking? Do you use one all the time or do you use both? If so, how do you decide which to use? In this video I share how I knit both right and left handed with a tale of two projects. Come knit with me!

It's good to see you again! The blouse is lovely! When I moved away from knitting and started to crochet, I was a thrower. About 15 years have elapsed and I have forgotten much of what I knew back then, as I was a very beginner when I stopped. I'd like to resume my knitting journey, and will probably throw when I pick the needles back up, but I've found there to be many more tutorials for Continental. To which I say "Pbbbt." It's interesting that your gauge changes, but since they are very different hand motions, it makes sense. I really love the red autumn shawl the best, visually. It's is striking! Lots of love, many hugs, always.

Thank you for your lovely comment, LadyValkyri! It's interesting that you find more tutorials for Continental style. Whichever style you pick up, I will be excited to see what you make with it! Lots of love and happy holiday season to you, friend!

My grandmother taught me to knit as a young girl and then in my teens I picked up a how to knit book to continue my skill, both taught me to throw my yarn. This past year I decided to learn how to knit continental style. Like you I decided I needed a large project to commit the style to muscle memory… so I knitted a 4 foot long stocking cap for my 5 year old. He absolutely loves the hat and now I’m fairly proficient with my left hand. I’m currently knitting a lace top in left hand. My next goal is to work towards balancing my gauge between the two different styles so that I can use them interchangeably. If I’m knitting to relax I still prefer right hand knitting as that has been my go to for a very long time.

Thank you for sharing your story! The 4 foot long stocking cap sounds great, especially on a 5 year old. :) Being able to go from one to the other without a noticeable difference is not something I have mastered. What an excellent goal. Best of luck to you!
