I've tried countless times to become quicker with continental style knitting but always revert back to my self-taught English style because I'm so quick. This morning I watched Jennifer Ackerman's video about four times in efforts to copy her hands, how they hold the yarn and adjust tension, and how to switch from knit to purl to yo to ssk. Okay, to force myself to become faster, Jeff's scarf will be knit with continental knitting. I'm using Stephanie Pearl-McPhee scarf pattern and here's the start. It's hard to describe how clumsy my hands feel and must look!
