Yarn Harlot and Irish Cottage Style Knitting

I sent this email to Stephanie today and thought I could gain some insight from my friends at KP:

I happened to stumble across a video of you on youtube today showing how you knit Irish Cottage Style found here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P51GByV0H2w. I'm very interested in learning this technique and how exactly you hold the yarn. Also, does this work on circular needles? Any suggestions you could offer would be greatly appreciated!

Any input or links that anyone can add to help me with this will be greatly appreciated!!

Comment by cherylbwaters on July 19, 2010 at 1:18pm: It's really not that difficult. My hardest problem in doing it was remembering to do it!

Comment by Peggy Stuart on July 19, 2010 at 11:47am: Thanks, Amy!

Comment by Amy Green on July 19, 2010 at 11:24am: She makes it look almost doable even for me ....lol

Comment by cherylbwaters on July 19, 2010 at 10:43am: That is a great video, isn't it? Her videos are usually terrific.

Comment by Amy Green on July 19, 2010 at 10:18am: Peggy, I found this video on youtube from knitwitch that shows backwards knitting and it's very cool looking http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vT-u3MBGFtI

Comment by cherylbwaters on July 19, 2010 at 8:54am: I started knitting backwards with my entrelac. I really liked it.

Comment by Peggy Stuart on July 19, 2010 at 6:42am: Exploring is good, even if you like how you currently knit. One of my goals for this year was to learn to knit backwards. I haven't done that yet. After the wedding....

Comment by Amy Green on July 18, 2010 at 10:14pm: Not unhappy, just exploring! I've learned over the past couple of weeks that that my late night unwinding from work knitting is speeding along with any distractions.....lol! I'm amazed at how many different ways to knit exist :)
