Debbie Stoller teaches the "English" style of knitting, where the yarn is held in the right hand while you work.

Knitting is not just about the stitches on the needles—it's also about what you're doing with your hands. There are several ways to hold your needles and yarn, and in this class, Debbie teaches the English style, which is one of the most common methods. As Debbie says, finding the method that works for you is the difference between "having a wrestling match with two sticks and some yarn or flowing along and knitting."

Debbie Stoller is the New York Times best-selling author of the Stitch 'n Bitch series of knitting and crocheting books, and has helped to popularize knitting among a new generation since 1999. She is also the co-founder and editor-in-chief of BUST magazine, and is the co-author of The BUST DIY Guide to Life.
