The Continental

Now, The Continental is more to me than a beloved SNL sketch character. It's how I knit. And it really is faster.

At first, I hated continental knitting because my purl stitch was out of control, then this kind woman hipped me to The Norweigan (scroll down a bit to see it). When I first saw it, it blew my mind, but when stopped trying to understand it with my mind and let my hands do it, it all came together. The kind woman also taught me the Russian knit stitch. My wrists and nerve tunnels will forever be grateful.

Leave it to the Norweigans and Russians to invent better ways to make warm clothes.
