Thank you to all of you who responded.








Next subject - which hand hold which yarn - does it matter?

  1. I usually knit continental, but when doing colorwork, I knit continental and English.

  2. I use the 2 handed technique and put my pattern color in my left hand which is my dominant hand. Of course this assumes I am knitting in the round which is my preferred colorwork technique.

  3. I put background in my continental hand and pattern in my english hand, if knitting circularly. If back and forth, then I put both on the continental hand and use a tensioned ring thingy on my finger to keep the colors separate til needed.
