Well, if you want to get technical about it, I'm knit-wrappy rather than knit-picky. (There are two major styles of knitting called "English" and "Continental" or "wrapping" and "picking." Both produce the same structure in the fabric. I'm a "wrapper" rather than a "picker" as the jargon goes.)
Well, "methods" is probably a better word than "style" in this case. It has to do with whether you hold the supply yarn in the left or right hand, which in turn affects the way in which a stitch is formed.
I learned to call the two methods "English" and "Continental" but a few years ago a woman from Lithuania informed me that I knit "like an Estonian" so I guess what it's called depends on where you're from.
