Unlike English knitting , the yarn is held in the left hand the motion of bringing the yarn forward with a needle held in the other hand is thus sometimes known as picking . Continental knitting is preferred by professional hand knitters, as it is the more efficient method, requiring the shortest number of specific hand motions per stitch.
