When I finally saw that other people knit differently, I tried it, and it worked nicely when I knit in garter stitch, but as soon as I tried anything with purl stitches, it didn't make sense. Finally I realized that I needed to wrap the yarn the other way when I purl to have the stitch face the right direction on the needle. I go back and forth now, but typically use Western style when I'm following a pattern with increases and decreases--which now look like they're suppose to! I still can't grasp how to knit English style, but since Continental is so much faster, I'll stick with that. Thanks for writing about it and for the links!

It's just different! I don’t believe there is a “wrong” way to knit. It’s just different!
