This mini class was originally recorded for the 2020 Sierra Nevada Yarn Crawl. In this video, I talk about holding yarn for the continental knitting style versus for crochet. There are so many similarities, and I think holding yarn in your left hand makes it easier to switch back and forth. If you like what you see, join me for a zoom class! I often teach for Virtual Vogue Knitting Live and would love to see you in my classes.

If your goal is to hone your knitting skills - especially lace knitting - youve come to the right place! Im a life-long knitter and crafter, and Ive been designing patterns for hand knitters since 2007 under the name Designs by Romi and Rosemary (Romi) Hill. I created this channel to share the experience Ive gathered (sometimes in the most difficult way!) with you, and to offer support for my patterns. I often go live here to talk through techniques, charts, and pattern specifics; and to go over knitting basics. I have a series of shorter videos - Teeny Tiny Tutorials - where I show you just the technique, so you can get right back to what you love most: knitting! If you have a question about one of my patterns or a request for a tutorial, let me know, and I will do my best to cover it for you. I want you all to feel empowered, because you are the boss of your knitting!
