Just a little practice everyday is all it takes, it'll be second nature in no time. I remember switching knitting styles (holding the yarn in the left handinstaead of the right), I thought I would never knit again. It took about a week and I was in it again!
I switched to Continental early on and it helped the carpal tunnel. Even that was fairly easy,, by rib knits make my brain spin.
I'm a big fan of the Techknitter blog. Her posts are so informative and get right down to the (k)nitty gritty of knitting.
Here is a detailed post about ribbing which may or may not make your brain spin even more
ribbing
I'm gonna check it out. Thanks!
I learned how to crochet from my grandma as a kid (like, kindergarten or earlier) and she taught me to hold my yarn with my left. Learning to knit, someone was trying to teach me to hold it in my right hand and I struggled sooo much! Went back to holding yarn in my left hand and knitting wasn't a problem at all. Still, 10 years of knitting later, I can't hold it in my right ¯_(ツ)_/¯ I didn't even know it was a thing that people did, but I knew it was the only way I could seem to hold yarn and needles at the same time.
