Finally picked up old project

After picking up knitting again late fall, I completed a simple baby blanket for a new grandchild arriving mid-march.

It made me realize how much I like it, and feel a sense of accomplishment. It also clears your mind of other ramblings.

Anyway, I pick up an old project of a colourwork mitten, but it took me ages to work out where I had left off, and find the right line on the chart to figure it all out again! It took me over an hour to do one round! Hopefully I will get a bit better... but figuring out how to hold the yarn again has got me flustered.

I did remember that I held one strand in right hand, and the other in left, continental style, but that hand is proving very difficult to get right. I'll have to look at some videos on-line to sort out the left hand yarn to get the tension right.

Any other colourwork/fairisle knitters here? How do you hold the yarn?
