  • No knitting is the wrong way just different, Elizabeth Zimmerman said to smile and carry on. I remember a German lady wondering how I could produce lovely aran knitting using the throw method, like the ladies in Peru. At the time I didn't realise she thought throwing meant taking the hand off the needle. This looks good as I've tried the German style and found it impossible to keep my left index finger high and ended up trying to knit with my finger like 'Geek. Thanks'

  • @sscrapyparcss hahah. yeah. no knitting is the wrong way. although I have seen WRONG. well, no. it was literally backwards. i was confused as this person was explaining to me why they do it that way. mirror image kind of thing...

  • I knit just like that, and when I'm "practiced up" I knit that fast too...cracks me up that people still insist I'm doing it wrong!

  • @cinderloowho just because we do it fast and efficiently doesn't mean it's wrong now is it? :) Someone used to tell me I knit weird too. whatever! :) i get sh*t done, man! :D

  • @cinderloowho i have the same issue as you. ppl really stare at me when I knit.  i don't like it. i want to poke their eyes out. lol jealous. lol

  • how about a purl like this too, I hate ribbing because of all the movement, but if there was a rib stitch that was faster????

  • @pegschr a faster way to rib? not sure. :) hahahah continental really helps w/ speed and efficiency though. :)
