First Piece Finished

[atherleisure]

I finished knitting the back of my new cardigan on Thursday. No picture yet, though, because I haven't pressed it, and it is highly inclined to roll.

you knit so FAST. do you knit english or continental? I realized after I knew how to knit how much faster continental was but I can't seem to learn to purl continental..

I really don't think of myself as a fast knitter. The back was 155 rows at about 120 stitches per row plus 37 rows of ribbing. I've just been doing a lot of software building at work lately, and it has become very clear to me that if I try to do something that requires thought during the 1-2 minutes that it's building, I'll get distracted and have trouble picking up where I was so I knit. That being said, I knit right-handed, carrying the yarn in my right hand. I tried knitting left-handed once but couldn't work it out immediately. I've never tried carrying the yarn in my left hand continental style.
