Learn To Knit

Increase the speed of your knitting by relaxing and minimizing movements.

There are two basic knitting methods. We think of "regular" knitting when we use a technique that uses the right hand to flip the yarn over the needles. In the "Continental" method the left hand flicks the yarn. There are many instances where the Continental method is much faster than our regular method because the left fingers are closer to the needle and can flick faster. However, the Continental method is a bit slower for purling and some other stiches. In the end it probably equals out.

Well, you knit the whole thing... now what are you going to do? You have to get it off the needles. You need to know how to cast off.

Knitting stitch is one thing, purling is another. Every good knitter learns the purl stitch to create knitting patterns.
