Eastern Style Knitting

At the request of snowmoon3 on Ravelry, I’ve taken pictures and video of the way I knit

I knit Eastern style, with the stitch mounted so the leading edge is behind the needle. My purls are mounted the same way, I’ll show purling in my next post.

Here is entering the stitch:

    I love this method. Thank you so much for posting the video. I’m a continental knitter who’s starting to convert all my knitting to this method. I think it turns out beautiful fabric and fixes my tension problems!
