Lovely jumpers Vitmaaraan. Yes, Continental style is best for colourwork. When I was in Portugal a couple of years ago, I was given a 'knitting pin', so I decided to give the Portuguese style a try and discovered that this method makes purling much the easier stitch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzfYS9_t27kWhow, I have never seen that before and I like to give that a try. The light has to shine, I think. Do you now use the Portugese style evertytime? I think they never have heard of a 'knitting pin' here Maybe I can use a safety pin as well.

I'm using it more and more. Not sure how a safety pin would work, but you could try it, I've tried with the yarn around my neck, but found it uncomfortable and prefer the pin. They are available online; cost just under £5.
