Comments on: Subtle Hints http://www.adamknits.com/2007/09/10/fall-is-a-strictly-increasing-function/ The incoherent ramblings of a knitting, yarn dyeing grad student, who also happens to be a guy. You got a problem with that?

I am just starting my first seemless EZ sweater. I am a thrower, but fairly new to knitting. I really want to learn continental but don't want to 'slow' down to learn. I have been thinking about trying it on all of the knitting on this sweater. So many I too will cross over to continental. It sounds like it was no problem for you. Do you think you will stick with continental or do you miss english style?</p> That is encouraging. I am just starting my first seemless EZ sweater. I am a thrower, but fairly new to knitting.

Or does it depend on the knitter? I've been toying with learning English style, it can't hurt, no? The sweater looks great!</p> OK, I have to know…Do you find Continental to be faster?

The color combo is awesome. Are those addi turbos or knitpicks options?</p> <p>PS: Welcome to the dark side of continental knitting! You should be a super speed demon with fair isle now.</p> I love that you are throwing in random green stripes. The color combo is awesome. Are those addi turbos or knitpicks options?

I love that red and that green, and also that you thought to show them off together in some stripes! You're making me think I really need to get on the continental horse again. I only use my left hand for colorwork, but if it's really as fast as people say, it might be worth turning away from the method of my ancestors in favor of a little more speed. More speed = more projects, right? If only I didn't find purling so awkward with the left hand - no wonder EZ went to such lengths to avoid it. ;)</p> Adam, that sweater is going to be gorgeous.

I'm trying to be a picker, too (mostly cause I needed a new challenge), but the purl part of it is kicking my a$$. I feel spastic and uncoordinated, and everything else when I try to purl. Would love to know how you conquer that part of it.</p> Have you figured out the purl part of Continental?

I knit continental too. I was sort of forced into it years ago by a Swiss friend who insisted that I just COULDN'T knit any other way! So much for the "knitting police!" But I'm glad she got me into it. It's so much faster. And comfortable for me too. Enjoy your new skill!</p> I love the colors on your SH. I knit continental too.
