wish i could knit that fast...

[TheRedlum]

I love this, I think she knits the same way as I do, I am not that fast, but I've never timed myself. lol

Don't mess with grandmas

Imagine if she did that for Innocent's Big Knit

[RoseKnits]

When i watch her doing it that fast it makes me feel like a begginer again! x

[annievstheworld]

Oh, she is sooo flicking/"lever knitting"/production knitting/whatever it's actually called. Wish I could have seen it slowed down!

@Vahilias thank you for the answer. i hadn't heard of backwards knitting.

[Vahilias]

@annebonnie It is backwards knitting, literally the mirror reverse of Continental knitting (yarn is tensioned and fed through the right hand instead) , and supposed to be better suited for left handed knitters.

I wish they would show it in slomo, so I could see her technique. She is too fast for me! Bravo Hazel!

[annebonnie]

holy smokes that's incredible! is that continental or english knitting? it doesn't look like either. special speed knitting. wow. very awesome to watch. wish i could do half that, my projects wouldn't sit around ufo for so long.
