Today I bring you a quick knitting tip.
Are you a knitter? Do you like to knit Fair Isle patterns? Then this video is for you!
Basically you knit with two colours, using both the English/American and the Continental/European styles of knitting; holding one colour in your left hand and the other in your right hand. This way the yarns are kept separate and do not tangle, and the whole process is quicker. It's brilliant.
The only problem now is that I'd have to learn the English way of knitting, which seems overly complicated and slower compared to the Continental. This is the best reason I've found for giving it a try, though.
(Maybe you've heard of this technique before? If so, why haven't you told me? :D)
