I was checking Facebook and emails this morning and went to a link that one of my FB "friends" had posted about knitting on YouTube. I had never searched YouTube except for music so was surprised that knitting videos or anything like that was on that site.
So, I was like a kid in a candy store checking out as many knitting videos as I could. One person you really should look up is Stephanie Pearl-McPhee. She is hysterical. And she can knit up a storm.
She has a video on YouTube about Irish Cottage knitting. I so have to practice knitting like that. I know I've seen it in books about Shetland knitting where the needle in your right hand is stationary and tucked under your underarm. And it lets you work so much faster.
I usually work with circular needles because straight needles, for me, where cumbersome and bothered my wrists but I'm going to give this a try. Very little movement involved at all.
If you have a few free moments, go to YouTube and check her out.
(I will post the link here if I can figure out how to do it....LOL)
'til next time....
Cheryl
