7. Listener Poll

"Tell me about your method.  For crocheters, do you hook with your right or left hand?  How do you grip your hook?  Like a pencil or a knife or some other way?  For knitters, do you knit English or Continental?"

My answer:  For crochet, I hold my hook with my right hand and grip it like a knife.  For knitting, I use the Continental style.
