Aghhhh I despise watching videos to learn and was specifically seeking out static visual guides to learn continental, which is why I'm definitely not happy that my guide isn't for continental. Thanks again for correcting my mistakes. Still not 100% sure what western mount is (a specific way to knit all on its own, like English and Continental? A foundation upon which those two build?) but I did retitle this to get rid of the claim it would teach Continental.
And this is the Fediverse, not a private conversation—feel free to post information! I personally feel the more useful information, the better, and would like more information. But even if I did not, someone else browsing the thread might appreciate it :)
Hope this guide is not incorrect.
Sorry for the videos! I don't hate them but I can definitely see the attraction of images. Sometimes I need help with just one little step and a 30min video is really an overkill.
The last guide is very good for continental knit stitch. It shows the left hand with the yarn and where the fingers are in every step.
As for the mount. The gist is: you enter the needle the certain way and wrap the yarn the certain way. If done correctly, you'll end up with a nice fabric. If you mix techniques without knowing, it'll go haywire. This article has plenty of visuals and explanations.
