Technology allows businesses to be global operations, and even the smallest business can have clients in every time zone. Different countries and different cultures may have different preferences, however; what sells well in one place may never sell in another place.
Circular knitting or knitting in the round is a form of knitting that creates a seamless tube. When knitting circularly, the knitting is cast on and the circle of stitches is joined. Knitting is worked in rounds (the equivalent of rows in flat knitting) in a spiral. Originally, circular knitting was done using a set of four or five double-pointed needles.
In Combined knitting, the orientation on knit stitches is Western and on purl stitches it's Eastern. No matter what your knitting style, you always enter the stitch through the right leg of the stitch. So for Combined knitting, you work a knit stitch through the back loop of the stitch. The needle goes straight through the back loop, from right to left.
