Donna Rae, you mentioned several methods of carrying the yarn and making the stitches. When I learned to knit 50 years ago, I was taught by two co-workers. They called their style (or method) European. What would you call it? I carry the yarn in my left hand, trailing between my index finger and the one next to it. I don't "drop" the yarn to knit the stitches. It simply slides through those fingers on my left hand. My right hand does most of the needle maneuvering. Do you have another name for this method?

It seems that "names" change as time passes. In the 50 years since I started knitting, I'm sure that much has changed. I'm just trying to "get with the program" since I've been using the same instructions, etc. for all of those years. I just want to be able to understand what I read on this site.

Thank you, StitchDesigner, for your response.
