Holding Techniques
Holding the needles is one of the toughest things to master in knitting, so if you find it hard, don’t be put off – it gets easier after this. How you hold the needles will depend on how you plan to knit, but you may not know that yet. You can hold the yarn in your right or left hand. If you hold it in your right hand, that is the English way; if you hold it in your left hand then that is the Continental way of knitting. Though awkward at fisrt, holding the needles either way becomes much more comfortable with practice. Have a go at both methods and you will quickly find out which one is most suitable for you.
Once you are able to control the needles, ignore them for a while and learn to knit. You can perfect your holding technique afterwards.
