[Nfb-krafters-korner] which style knitting do you use?

[Valerie]

To those that do continental style knitting, today, it being so hot here and
I'm happy to just sit and test my knitting out. I am pretty sure I've
remembered how our German neighbour taught me to knit the plain stitch, but
how is purl done in continental style? Thanks ever so much and hope my
questions aren't too many. 

Cheers Valerie

Hi, Ericka.
I knit Continental for the most part, with the yarn in my left hand. I
alternate between the Western method and combination knitting--these
two methods are based on which leg of the stitch is in front of the
needle.

Would you mind explaining how to go about knitting in the Portuguese
style? I'm always up for learning new ways to knit.

Thanks,
Dani
