This class is in a one-hour lecture format. There will be time for Q&A at the end but no hands-on attention.

If you’ve ever heard that Continental knitting (yarn in left hand) is faster than English knitting (yarn in right hand), don’t believe the hype. Unfortunately however, most of us don’t knit English-style in the most efficient manner. In this lecture, Debbie Stoller will teach you how to knit English-style the way it’s done in the Netherlands (and elsewhere), which is much quicker. We’ll go over the history of how English knitting evolved from horsehair pouch to the knitting needles we know today; what got lost in the process; and how to use the “pit knitting” method to substantially speed up your English-style knitting.
