Isn't if fun when a new knitter just "gets it"? I have a couple of these right now and they're so excited. I don't have any young knitters at present. That must really be exciting. I don't think I'm a particularly fast knitter. I am a right hander. But I am pretty steady when I knit. I only use my left hand for fair isle. My friend Joanne constantly taunts me about knitting right handed. Thanks for the sock pattern from yesterday. I'm going to show them to my daughter and see if she wouldn't like a pair. Now that I've started with socks I may never get anything else done. You are so right about it being addictive. Good morning, Lynn. Isn’t if fun when a new knitter just “gets it”?

Would you be willing to time yourself for a few minutes and tell me/us : ) the number of stitches per minute you achieve (and the circumstances, e.g. needles size, yarn, needle changes, stitch changes)? I'm about to try teaching myself the Continental technique and see if that improves my speed. Some people tell me to chill when I talk about speed, but I think it's part of the fun and it contributes to feeling like a competent, skilled knitter. Hi Lynn,
