I'm left-handed, and for some reason for me personally, Portuguese style has always been easiest to adapt that way. Might just be me though.
TIL I'm actually knitting Russian? Didn't know there was a distinction between regular continental and my tight way. But knowing that might help varying tension for different projects.
Thanks for sharing this, I didn't know about some of these and always fun to learn more.
I've tried Portuguese, continental and English but stayed with continental. Getting purls down with even tension and not hurting my wrist took some time but got there in the end
Continental. Though I do that and English simultaneously when doing colorwork, so yeah.
Portuguese style looks really interesting! I learned to knit after learning to crochet, so I've only ever gotten the hang of continental.
