Random Knitting Theory: They say that "Successful, continental knitters have a certain kind of hand."
Do they? Do you have it? Do I?
So here are my pictures to test the theory. I don't really understand what the theory is, but Jerry & Maxy orginally asked for Continental knitters and then included English knitters afterward. I'm an English knitter, but I do use the Continental when I do Fair Isle.
The first shot is of my "somewhat" idle hands. LOL, don't they look like a witches' craggy paws? Well I do have arthiritis in my left thumb and I'm over age 50 [plus] ... but maybe the fact that I live in Salem, MA ... the city of witches [BTW, I also read Tarot cards -- bet you didn't know that!] has something to do with it? Hah-hah-heh-haw-ha ...
And the next two shots are my knitting hands in action. I took two different angles because I was using the timer on my camera and felt it would show more with both shots.
Are they looking for these hands?
M-m-m-m, or maybe it's Yours ...

I think you have lovely hands. Hmm, tarot cards? Salem? You really are colorful!
Continental? English? Ummm...I have NO clue which method I do or if I even do either. I just knit the way I feel most comfortable and have no idea if it is "right" or "wrong". Regardless, it works for me.
You do have lovely hands!!!! Great pics! Thank you for visiting my blog and entering my contest!
Shelley, there's no right way or wrong way, just testing a nutty theory of mine, and people are kind enough to play along and help me!
Well, I really like your hands, they look nothing like a witches' one ;), actually a big lot better than mine *envy* ;)
