Knit Faster With Continental Knitting: Color & Texture

via Craftsy

Overview

Work the patterns you love with more speed and less hand strain! Join popular instructor Lorilee Beltman and see how having a free hand to hold your yarn can make a huge difference when knitting texture and colorwork. You’ll begin by learning the steps for the Tunisian knit stitch as well as the three-color linen stitch. Then, find out how much easier knitting Continental style (sometimes known as left-handed knitting) makes mosaic colorwork and even cables. When you move on, Lorilee will share a variety of Gansey-style patterns that work up easily from alternating knits and purls. Want to add even more colorwork to your Continental toolkit? You’ll discover how Continental techniques turn stranding into a speedy, strain-free process. Plus, you’ll knit a gorgeous sampler cowl along the way to hone your new skills!
