RE: How to cast on for combination knitting and western knitting
This is really interesting, thank you. We were discussing eastern and western knitting yesterday at the knitting group (about half the knitters are using the eastern style). I want to learn how to do it, so this is an excellent introduction.
Thank you and wow: you have a knitting group! I don't know why, but although I live in a big city, here are no such groups. The only one is in a yarn shop and you have to by their yarn if you want to participate. I started to knit with western continental (not so long ago) and my knitting was not very neat, so I researched and tried out different styles. I now knit combination and so far I like it much more then westenr or eastern style :-D
What style do you prefer?
I have only tried English knitting (is that western knitting?). My dad taught me when I was about seven, so my knitting may be a bit eccentric!
Yes I think so :-) English and continental are both use western oriented stitches, but English knitters hold the yarn in their right hand and contintental in their left....
But eccentric knitting is the best :-D
