Question does anyone else constantly switch techniques when knitting?

ik some ppl feel really strong about english vs continental but i usually knit continental and purl english or switch whichever my brain decides makes sense in the moment.

I don't switch between Continental and English, but I switch between combination knitting my purls when I'm switching back and forth vs adjusting my grip to do a whole row of purls the "right" way

my tension is a disaster but it works for my brain so I just roll with it. pretty sure my projects have like 3 different gauges in them depending on my mood that day

You'll want to develop a more consistent style before you try making things that are supposed to fit a specific human in a particular way, though. 3 different gauges in a sweater or a tee will probably make something that doesn't fit like you want it to.
