European Knitting Method


When I moved to Maine I decided that I wanted to learn to knit socks. I had knitted before but I found it slow because of the way we do it in America is to take our hand off the knitting needles and wrap with our right hand the needle. I wanted to learn this method, but I only had an image in a book to show me. It took me a long time to grasp. Here Renate Hiller is knitting the European way and it is beautiful to watch.

I am still working on my hexagon quilt...and another little surprise that I will show you soon.
