English Knitters, I need your input...
I just came across a thread where a woman said she can knit English (yarn in the right hand) without letting go of the right needle to wrap the yarn! I'm impressed! I didn't even know this was possible!

My question for you all is.... which way do you do it? Please let me know by answering the poll! (I suspect most of you do let go of the needle. But if not, I will consider changing the way I shoot the English videos.)

Also...if any of you out there can knit this way: Do you live near Amherst, MA? Would you be willing to show me? ...

Update, 11/30/04:
Rick (Cellcept) has sent me a video of knitting this way. Now I just need to practice! Then I'll put up my own sample video for the curious.
