left hand knitter who knits lefthanded
Is there anyone out there who knits as I do? I am experiencing more and more problems with my knitting projects. Can someone more experienced then myself please help out? I am knitting a top down sweater that starts out on circular needles going back and forth as on straight needles. About 10 inches down it is joined and rounds are now being worked. There is a definite change in the stitches; they appear twisted. But, not as in twisted from joining. There is a clearly new stitch difference. I have been to two very experienced ladies and neither one can figure out what I have done differently. It has to do with my knitting lefthanded. I have knitted this way for 25 years! Help.

I knit the Continental Method which I use my left hand.. Amy has this video on it to see if we are doing it the same

I'm wondering though when you join are the sts becoming twisted.. or was the top part on straights was it stockinette st where you knitted one row then purled the following row? or was it just all knit? if it was just all knit then when you joined in the round it would be different cause you would be doing S
