That's interesting. The stitches on the non-working needle are reversed in orientation around the needle from what they would be in western knitting. Therefor, when they knit into the back of the stitch (we usually knit into the front of the stitch for a regular knit stitch) they are effectively doing the same thing we do. I have to try this. It looks like it would make "continental" style knitting smoother.
Purling in continental style knitting is a fiasco and I never do it. Some people employ the Norwegian technique for purling in continental style but, again, it's a rigmarole if you ask me. I knit English style and it's not an issue. Now I will have to see if continental style purling is any easier in this eastern technique.
Imagine if knitting were an Olympic sport! LOL. I can hear the sports announcers now.
