Holding yarn
Ok so I finally got flicking motion and Ive learned to knit continental style the biggest problem I have when using these methods is holding the yarn between my fingers. I have tried several different waysof wrapping around my fingersbut I cant seem to keep the right tention, its either too loose or too taut (I dont have this problem when I throw) Any advise would be much appreciated!I wrap my yarn around my pinky finger to tension in continental, and squeeze my ring and pinky together to adjust tension. Its still really dependent on weird things - like how dry my hands are! Practice makes perfect - good luck! Perhaps loosening your stitches as you go or go up a size in needle, your gauge or tension sample should give you the answer as to the needle question. thanks for sharing ! Hello there is a ring to wear on your finger that holds the yarn this might help you even tension out. Some rings can hold 2 colors Sorry to be so boring, but just a lot of practice.... good luck! Not a fan of wrapping for tension, I tend to hold the yarn along the needle to tension. Might be a little looser but I usually hit gauge. If I wrap around my pinkie my continental gets to tight. We all find a way that works! Thanks for sharing! practice makes it perfect. good luck :) I would try maybe going up a needle size?
