Lefties definitely need some more representation in this world. I'm glad to see that there's already a series of videos specifically targeted to this group. I hope that this series continues.

Audio is good. Sometimes the image on the "knitty cam" is a little shaky. I would like that to be on a tripod next time so that I can see what Marilen is doing exactly.

Can't wait to see what else is in store for the lefties in this learning environment!

I am trying to teach myself "true" left-handed Continental knitting. What I mean by this, is to knit opposite of the regular Continental stitches. I hold the yarn and finished work in my right hand and work onto the left needle. I am learning to enter in (my) front of the stitch from the right for knit and from the left for purl. I would like to know if you are teaching Continental or English (throw) knitting. Since I am still learning, do you think your video lesson might be better for me? Thank you very much, dkcal
