I've been knitting for over 50 year-was taught by my aunts, who were taught by my German great-grandmother. I'm not sure what you call my knitting style- I pick (knit from the back and purl from the front) but knit and purl from the front when knitting in the round... have learned to adapt and modify instructions to fit my knitting style. I usually don't share my knitting quirk,so am taking a risk to join this group! We'll see how this works out!
