Re: Knitter's POLL



lol! It seems I'm the odd one out. I'm left handed, but am fairly
ambidextrous when I knit.
If I'm doing a project that's just a straight stockinette stitch (k1
row, p1 row and repeat), I'm generally too lazy to bother turning the
piece around, and I'll just knit Continental one way and English the
way back. It may not be the industry standard, but it looks fine, works
for me, and my stitches are conveniently the same tension either way.
I'm working on a pair of socks at the moment, I prefer to work on them
inside out, and all the new work goes onto the right hand needle. I
really only have the time to work on them at the gym, while I'm doing
the exercise bike. I've gotten a few odd looks, but it really makes the
15-20 minutes fly!
