I found it very interesting; I really like the way you hold the two colors at the same time. I don't know how to do continental knitting though, so I wish you would do the stitch slower, so that I could get a better look at how you are doing it.

Excellent instructions on how to carry the yarn along when working with 2 colors and also how to secure the yarn that’s carried for longer single color runs.
