I am not a fast knitter.
\nSeriously, I’m not. Yes I knit Continental, which is supposed to be faster, but as far as I can tell this makes me a more secure knitter (in that I can knit and purl without looking at my hands).
\nI realized I wasn’t a fast knitter when Wendy<\/a> test knitted the Madame Defarge Stole<\/a> for me and went faster than I could get instructions to her.
\nShe’s FAST.<\/p>\n

Drops shawl, which I am not knitting quickly<\/p><\/div>\n

From time to time I try to focus on speed—when knitting something simple—and I suppose I speed up a bit, but mostly I just knit as I knit. I can switch back and forth between Continental and British and (on the knit stitches at least) I really don’t see much speed difference. Sometimes I wonder if it’s because I was originally taught British. Mostly I don’t wonder at all. While it would be nice to go faster, most of the time I don’t mind. Right now, though, while I’m busy busy busy and designing a lot more than I used to, it would sure be nice to go faster.
\nWhat do you do?
\nHave you sped up?
\nDo you have useful links?
\nI’m really curious to find out how other knitters have dealt with this…or IF you have.<\/p>\n
