Assuming you are a right handed crocheter, you might want to look up the "Continental" method knitting. The yarn is held same as crocheting and you do not have to throw the yarn over the right needle (you hook it under the stitches). My mother knitted (she was a beautiful knitter who had to learn it in school in Newfoundland)and used the "English" method which I could never learn. An Irish woman taught me how to do the "Continental" method. Most how to knit books now show this method also. Good Luck!
