Overview

Does your knitting sometimes get cut short by tired, achy hands? Do you want to knit faster and more efficiently? If you answered yes to one or both of these questions, join instructor and designer Lorilee Beltman and learn a different style of knitting that ditches strain for speed! By making the most of your hand motions with smaller, quicker movements, and giving every finger a job to do, you’ll rejuvenate your knitting and approach any project with a newfound zeal. Lorilee will show you how to keep even tension as you work increases, decreases and more, and you’ll learn how you might apply Continental knitting to a variety of techniques, from cables to colorwork. Whether you’re new to knitting or a seasoned English-style veteran, you’ll wonder where Continental knitting has been all your life. And, if you’re left-handed, well, get ready to fall in love.
