BellaOnline Forums Hobbies and Crafts Knitting Who has started their holiday knitting?

I believe what I do is the continental since my mom is from Europe and taught me. I could never get the hang of the American style where you take the yarn wrap it around and then cast it off to the kneedle but that looked faster to me than my continental knitting.

I think that continental is faster, it is especially faster when doing a stitch pattern that alternates between knit and purl, like seed stitch or ribbing. But I have met some people that "throw" who are pretty darn fast I guess as with much in life, It Depends

I just got out my Knifty Knitter Loom this morning and am about to launch into my winter scarves mode! hahaha! I love that thing.
