February An interesting video for the “Knit Back” technique: http://www.knitting-and.com/knitting/tips/backwards.html You can knit or purl ‘backwards’. If you can master this technique, as some talented folks in our group have, your knitting speed is increased tremendously. Linda shared this website: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/19/fashion/thursdaystyles/19spinning.html One of our longstanding members does outstanding work along this line and has placed on more than one occasion. |
