There are two main types of knitting: continental and English. Both styles have their own unique benefits, so it’s really up to the individual knitter to decide which one they prefer.
Continental knitting is often faster than English knitting, as the yarn is held in the left hand and the stitches are formed using a picking motion. This style of knitting is also known as “picking” or “German” knitting.
English knitting, on the other hand, is also known as “throwing”. In this style, the yarn is held in the right hand and the needles are manipulated using a throwing motion. Many knitters find this style of knitting to be more relaxing, as it doesn’t require as much coordination between hands.
