00:00:00,245 --> 00:00:02,396
(upbeat music)

2
00:00:02,396 --> 00:00:04,060
- The knit stich and the pearl stitch

3
00:00:04,060 --> 00:00:06,796
are like the meat and potatoes of knitting.

4
00:00:06,796 --> 00:00:08,252
In fact, all of knitting

5
00:00:08,252 --> 00:00:10,529
is just based on these two stitches.

6
00:00:10,529 --> 00:00:12,016
In English knitting, you're kind of

7
00:00:12,016 --> 00:00:14,765
throwing your yarn around the needle,

8
00:00:14,765 --> 00:00:16,697
and in Continental, you're kind of

9
00:00:16,697 --> 00:00:19,109
picking the yarn with your needle.

10
00:00:19,109 --> 00:00:20,784
And so, sometimes, instead of

11
00:00:20,784 --> 00:00:22,329
being called English or Continental,

12
00:00:22,329 --> 00:00:24,762
they're called throwing or picking.

13
00:00:24,762 --> 00:00:26,625
Basic difference really is that

14
00:00:26,625 --> 00:00:29,452
in one you're holding your yarn in your right hand,

15
00:00:29,452 --> 00:00:31,460
in the other one, in your left hand.

16
00:00:31,460 --> 00:00:34,043
