Creatures of Habit

Hi All,

Well, I have decided I am definitely a creature of habit. This morning I thought I would try to teach myself continental/German knitting (I currently knit the English way..."throwing" the wool around the needle). It seems easy enough, and yes I'll have to keep practicing, but I found myself reverting back to my usual knitting methods. It's more comfortable, I can control the tension much easier, and it's what I know.

Why am I putting myself through this if I am currently happy with my English methods? Well, it's all about the projects really. I have so many projects I want to complete that I need to learn to knit more quickly. That means teaching myself this new method.

But I do not accept change gladly...

I was sorry to hear about the photography business going on the back burner for a while. But, when the time is right, I'll bet you find a way back to this. It was meant to be, right?

I taught myself Continental knitting a few years ago and was actually pretty successful. I don't think I even remember how to knit English anymore. But it is really about personal preference. The one that works for you will always be the fastest as far as I'm concerned. Good luck!!!
