[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 700621, member: 1963"] Lil, my grandmother was left handed and knit left handed. I'm right handed. I can knit continental or "pick". i naturally knit right handed, but can knit with either hand which is how I knit with more than one color if stranding. I knitting jacquard (large blocks of color) where each color is on it's own spool, i just use whichever hand is handy to pick up the color when I need it. The MOST important thing for you, as a beginner, to learn is how to knit to gauge. ALWAYS knit a gauge square before starting a project, and change needles as needed until you get the gauge specified in your pattern, or what you've come up with to get the measurements you need. Right handed I used to be able to knit to gauge with needles specified in patterns, but wouldn't trust it right now. Left handed I have to test gauge. [/QUOTE]
