Finally Continental without cramps,
By quilty (Tulsa, Oklahoma) - See all my reviews
This review is from: YNotKnit (Spiral-bound)
I am a visual learner and I have purchased several books trying to master continental knitting, I have even checked out the videos on Youtube. I have been knitting English style for more years than I care to admit. Finally with this book I am knitting continental and gaining speed. The illustrations are very easy to understand and the way the book is set up you can practice one technique before you attempt to try another. The book is spiral bound so it lays flat allowing you to compare the hand positions in the book to your own. I recommend this book to anyone attempting to learn continental knitting.

for the VERY beginner,
This review is from: YNotKnit (Spiral-bound)
This is a good book for the VERY beginner interested in continental style knitting (holding yarn in the left hand). It has good directions and pictures for casting on, knitting, purlling, and binding off. It does not include more advanced techniques like knitting in the round or cables. Good info on reading patterns. The projects are simple shapes like scarves. Good to start, not a complete reference.

Continental Knitting Made Easy!,
By Forever the Student (Florida, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: YNotKnit (Spiral-bound)
YNotKnit had me knitting and purling continental style in no time. Literally less than a week from starting this book I was making a cabled scarf. I had never knit before but the instructions were broken down into so many very clear, small steps that it was like having someone sitting there beside me teaching me!
If you are interested in learning continental style knitting (and who shouldn't be!) then I would highly suggest getting this book ASAP.
