I’m pretty pleased with my progress as I (finally) dedicate time to learn the continental knitting style. Knitting is picking up speed but I have a really tough time maintaining proper tension in the yarn in my left hand when I do the Norwegian purl stitch. Any advice? I loop the yarn over my middle finger and feed it in over my forefinger.

On a side note, its been funny to watch my right hand forefinger reach out towards the yarn whenever I get confused! 😆

    Try different wrapping methods. My favorite is around my palm and then index finger, so I hold the needle with my middle and ring. I hold it the same for crochet and knitting.
