I was taught how to knit in high school, but apparently whoever did it, didn't do a great job because I know realize I learned a "bad habit". We never learned the Continental style, so whenever I give that a go, I can't even knit a stitch.
The way I do is a convoluted version of the English style. My left hand holds the left needle, but when I "throw" my yarn, it also holds onto the right needle and my entire right hand does the work, not just my index finger. Does that make sense? Having watched videos of how to knit "properly" I realize that it would go much faster if I did it the right way, but I can't seem to unlearn my weirdo knitting style.
Anyone else do this?
