Welcome to The Blue Mouse Knits! In this video I will be demonstrating how I knit 1x1 rib faster as a continental knitter, this is more of an example vs a traditional tutorial. You may already be familiar with this method, or use it yourself, but just in case you haven't seen it before I think this method is great for anything involving alternating knits and purls often. I not only find this method faster, but it also gives me less wrist pain and feels more enjoyable to knit for longer periods of time.
Hope you enjoy the video, thanks for watching!

This was an awesome video! I have been crocheting for a few months now but I prefer the look of knit garments over crocheted ones, so Im happy I found this! As someone in the comments said, this definitely feels more natural for someone who learned to crochet before knitting.

Thanks so much! As someone who started with crochet first, this style of knitting always felt like a natural transtion from crochet

I’m teaching myself to knit and this video is right on time. I’ve been looking for videos like this to teach me the things the knit tutorials aren’t teaching the littlest tips and tricks to make my work neater and easier. ❤

I had such a hard time learning to knit until I found out how to knit continental. I'd been crocheting for over 40 years, so this seemed to be much more natural to me than the English throwing method. Now, when I'm doing something like a rib, I kind of get panicked at the end of the row because I realized I hadn't been paying attention. But when I check, I've done it perfectly. lol

Thats great! It's always so satisfying to get to the end of a row without any errors :)

I just switched to the Norwegian purl and it saved my life!

Ty, I’m just learning and this video made it so much easier to learn. I was making so many mistakes the conventional way but this way makes it so much easier

Right now I crochet, but I really want to learn knitting and have been told continental will be easier for me to learn since I crochet right handed. This was very clear even not knowing hot to knit yet. Definitely subscribing so that as I start my journey I can follow your tutorials ❤

i found that this works amazingly with the Norwegian purl method!

Haha thank you so much! ❤️

@DizzzyDeb 10 месяцев назад

I’d love to see how you’re holding and tensioning your yarn. I’m struggling with that as well.

@tyrstyranny7060 8 месяцев назад

I just use my right hand needle to scoop the yarn forwards…. I definitely want to try this technique though

@dianepothier3078 Год назад

Always glad to see your presence on utube. I have a question; does your one by one rib ever start to lean one way or the other? I’m knitting a 1 x 1 rib mens hat and the longer I knit the more the rubbing leans to the left??? Thank you in advance Diane

@TheBlueMouseKnits Год назад

Hi Diane, my ribbing doesn’t do that but I vaguely remember it happening when I was a newer knitter. It may be a tension issue, like maybe you are knitting tighter than you’re purling and it’s causing it to lean. Its probably something that’s fixable with blocking, I bet you could straighten it out with pins while blocking

I have only ever knitted in the American method, but I have wrist issues and have wondering if learning continental style might help 🤔

@TheBlueMouseKnits 9 месяцев назад

It's possible it could help, might be worth knitting a swatch with continental to see if it helps at all. I also have wrist pain and find lots of stretching breaks and doing hammer curls with a light weight helps a ton. The light weight lifting exercises seem counter intuitive but make all the difference for my wrist pain.
