The main ways to knit are English style and Continental style. However, there are infinite variations that will still produce knits and purls. Annie Modesitt explains how to knit combined style in "Confessions of a Knitting Heretic". Also you can try using a Norwegian purl method which is demonstrated here: http://www.knittinghelp.com/videos/purl-stitch
Or you could knit and purl backwards (also called left handed knitting which is useful in entrelac).

Right now, we are working on making videos for all of the basic knitting techniques, but after that we can try making videos of variations of these techniques.; ▶ Reply to This

I can do it for her, but I haven't had much experience with it. If you do one, I can operate the computer for her, while she looks on. You can read hundreds of books, but seeing it in motion makes it much easier. Thanks. --Peggy; ▶ Reply to This

I just listened to Kelly's podcast #39 and while I understand that there is a difference, I can't visualize what it is and can't find any videos on it (even if I could, I'd prefer a KP video because they're just better. ;) Thanks!!; ▶ Reply to This
