Yeah, this is me too! I mean, I didn't knit through the back, but I taught myself out of a book and so my methods are suspect. I'm brand new, really.
I actually knit English, but I'm learning Continental which seems quicker to me. But I have real issues with the thread tension, which is more important there.
So how do people hold the yarn? I tried the knittinghelp.com video way, but somehow I drop the yarn when I actually go for the stitch, and am unable to keep consistent tension.
Not helpful, I know! I just wanted to pipe up and say I'm interested in peoples' responses.
