Continental European style of knitting in which your left hand is holding the working yarn appears to have less motion as you work through brioche, slip-stitch, or some textured patterns. 

If you always were curious about this method or you are learning how to knit, come and learn what it is all about. If you are already a knitter and your style is English (holding yarn in the right hand) learning 

Continental style can actually be very beneficial to you. You can use both of these styles interchangeably!
