Discussioni made my first sock 😍
I started out with simple scarves, then harder scarves (i think it's called brioche in english) and have now made a couple hats and my first sock! It's insanely fun!
In that vein i wanted to ask you gyns if you have any good vids or tutorials of any kind for fancier socks, maybe with the brioche pattern.
However i also have the issue that I'm working the continental knitting style which is kind of different to the English/American variant, and on top of that i know zero nomenclature for knitting in English. Its there maybe a woman here who knows both techniques?
Thanks already!
Ha! Hab ich auch nicht gewußt. It is really tough to learn all that terminology since almost nothing is just literally translated.
I still don't fully grasp how the English method works but i showed the continental one to an American colleague who can knit and she said, woah your method is actually easier. Although i guess it's a matter of preference really.
Yes, if I understood the difference correctly continental is considerably faster as well, right?
I believe it is, the yarn is “picked” from the left hand instead of being wrapped over the working needled by the right hand. I haven’t tried the Continental method, and I wrap yarn the opposite way from most English knitters.
