You are fantastic and I love your Channel but sometimes I think I must be dyslexic, or maybe it's because I have listened to so many different knitting videos because I didn't know that there were several types of knitting.... I get things bassackwards! I finally settled on Eastern as my way. Because Knitters do not identify what type of knitting they're doing - especially Foreign language vids - unless it's a "How To This or That Style Knit", I was watching how fancier stitches were formed and I started getting mixed up, but every time I would see this certain type of knitting, I would think that's for me because that makes sense. It's practical and very straightforward, and has an economy of motion to it. I finally just had to ask Google what was the traditional Russian way of knitting, that is, when I finally figured out that it was drastically different than all of the others. Unfortunately, this all means that all the other kinds of knitting that I watch, perhaps with the exception that may be Portugues - but I have not paid that close attention or tried it yet - means that just about everything is opposite because knits are formed with needles at/on the backside of the work and purls are done on the front side of the work (Russian purl) and the needle action is exactly the same, depending on which side you are doing, it is simply mirrored. Which means compared to other knitting a lot of the movements are opposite or mirrored. My brain gets a little tangled when I'm trying to translate how to do something from other types of knitting. P.S. I had heard that "Continental purl is much harder than English purl, so I switch-hit"...now I know why. See, I had dismissed English as being a very halting, stop-start and unpragmatic way to make progress in knitting. I combine some Continental when I make a certain type of cast on so that I don't undo my caston or cross my stitches on the first row (causing curl up). As I actually paid attention to what you were doing because of the good camera angle and whatnot, I may have changed my mind about English... and you will be my very good teacher. Congratulations!
