#knitting friends, this is your friendly neighbourhood incompetent man asking for advice, again:

I’m left-handed and self-taught, I learned how to knit the right-handed way and ironically could only do it English/throwing style.

I tried continental but just couldn’t crack the tension nor most of the movements to be honest.

Anyway, I want to try and learn continental, mainly because I’m older now and my elbow/shoulder start hurting after a while of throwing.

Any tips and advice gratefully received, on how to swap from 16 years of one style of knitting to another.

Thanks!

@Sobtanian I am a left handed knitter who knits English/throwing style/with yarn in right hand. When I am doing two colour stranded I hold one yarn in each hand, can you try like that, and then just drop the right hand yarn entirely? Would that work for you?

@Sobtanian that's a shame, it seemed like a good way to move over, I hope you find a way that works!
