I'm a continental knitter, I think because I started crocheting long before I learned to knit, so I'm just used to holding the yarn in my left hand. The lady who taught me was an English knitter, but I only lasted about a row before I just naturally switched over. My biggest problem doing the stranded colorwork was that the yarn in my right hand kept bunching up and getting in the way, and I just couldn't seem to keep a consistent tension on it. I think it's the way I hold my right hand when I knit.
