I cannot believe my four year-old son is knitting, and he is good at it!
Last year, I had in mind to teach him, so I bought those Lion Brand kids knitting needles (size 10 US) but I guess it was too soon, because at the time he was not really interested. So, imagine my surprise when he came to me yesterday and told me that the rainbow scarf I made him a while ago would be to small for him to wear this winter, and that he needed to make himself a new scarf... And then one for his little sister!
That's my boy! He can barely put two stitches together but already his To-Do list is longer than his knitting skills... 
I so like the way he keeps repeating "inside, around and out"!
Oh, I am so proud of him!
Now, in that little video, my son is knitting the English way - also known as right-hand knitting or throwing - because that is how my Mom taught me and that is how I showed him to do.
Although, I have found out a while ago that even if I am right handed, I am also able and comfortable with Continental Knitting, especially when I work Intarsia. In fact, I then combine English and Continental methods, carrying and stitching one color in each hand. It just came naturally even before I knew there were different ways to knit... 
In fact, I find Continental Knitting faster than the English method, but my stitches are presenting differently.
In Intarsia projects, I guess it doesn't show so much because there are only few twisted stitches and they are in a different color anyway - as a matter of fact, I think it actually adds a bit of "relief" to the design.
But in regular projects, if I alternate methods along the way, then it really shows and it does not look so good, especially with plain Stockinette. If for some mysterious reasons I wanted to work a project that way anyway, I would have to knit the back of the Continental stitches to get a smooth plain Stockinette texture.
Now, to get back to the topic, my son is left handed and I am wondering if I should teach him to knit Continental - also known as left-hand knitting - rather than the way I knit. He seems to be doing fine with the throwing thing, but wouldn't it make more sense to him to carry the about to be knitted yarn in the left hand? 
Any left-handed Knitter's advice would be very much appreciated...
