Enjoyed listening to your podcast last night. ...Hi! Enjoyed listening to your podcast last night. You all sounded like you were having a ton of fun. About the whole knitting faster thing: I finally learned to knit at a respectable speed when I had a "dreaded boyfriend sweater" to finish for a holiday deadline. It was plain stockinette, and I spend my college Christmas vacation racing through it. i can point to that project as the time I finally got to where I could knit fast enough that it was gratifying in terms of generating fabric (Of course the relationship foundered - as relationships subjected to a sweater often do). I don't consider myself to be a truly fast knitter. I think that continental style knitters tend to be among the fastest. I seem to recall that the record holding speedy knitters are those who use long straight needles with one of the needles secured to a knitting belt or under the knitter's arm.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13844129430383744128noreply@blogger.com
