Call me Purl Girl

I am officially obsessed with knitting. When I see someone wearing a sweater, I stare and try to determine the kind of stitch and the yarn weight. When I'm falling asleep at night, I think about what I knitted that day and/or what I'll knit the next day. I'm falling behind on my quilting and way, WAY behind on scrapbooking (Joshua Tree? Only happened a year ago. I did purchase an album for Australia though...). I can't remember the last time I left my house without an in-progress knitting project in a tote.

What have I knitted so far? Three hats, which are pretty cool. Part of a poncho. And the front of a sweater for my four-year-old. The poncho is on hold because I need help with my increases, which are MUCH harder than decreases, IMO. I hope to actually complete some large projects soon...

If it is at the beginning of a row I use YO (yarn over).

Which do you prefer English (holding yarn in your right hand) or continental (holding yarn in your left hand)? I prefer the English method.
