Continental knitters hold the yarn in their left hand. I am trying to learn how to knit like that at the moment.
I knit in the English style where the yarn is held in the right hand.
TBH it doesn't really matter how you knit (there are SO many different styles) as long as you are forming the stitches correctly.
ETA: You are probably knitting English but with the yarn swapper over. Might be easier if you hold it in right hand - do watch the video again.

Oh, and I was knitting backward for a very long time after learning from the video. Still was knitting, was just a lot more difficult than it had be!
And Kandice - you CAN knit stuff like that! That is a really easy pattern. I've only been knitting for about a year and a half.... I'm still a newbie
