Knitting Much Faster English Method

[@DeafeningLight]

This was just like watching my grandma knit, down to where I’d sit and watch her and the camera placement. Thank you for your explanation and for reminding me so much of my grandma

[@lizziecrockerx]

I taught myself how to knit using KZbin and adapted it have been using this method without knowing as I thought I was cheating! So happy this is an actual method. Thank you for the video xx

[@kaylajames3098]

I am blind. Can you show me how to do this?

[@faye.allister]

I learned knitting belts existed today from a woman who retaught herself how to knit after losing half of one of her arms. THIS is why knitting belts exist! Because of the old way of knitting! You even kept one of your needles under your arm! So cool!

[@juliehudson6930]

This so reminds me of the lessons I learned as a child from a neighbour. She trained in domestic science at university in the early 1900s. They had to do all kinds of things for that degree including knit crocher even did child birth! She was a beautiful knitter , crocheter and tatter. She taught me all about tension and holding the yarn. But just watching this has jogged my memory somewhat and reminded me I have let some bad habits creep in. Thankyou for your video.

[@skylark5789]

I've always knit Continental, and anchored my left needle in my jeans pocket! Only years later did I find out that women used once a "knitting apron" with a little pocket to hold the end of the needle. It really makes a difference, and I think the tension remains consistent, and the stitches perfect!

[@TheVeganMantisGuy]

4 years later, but me and my partner started knitting a month ago and also anchor one needle. Only we knit English style and anchor the right needle! I tend to cup the end of my shirt to hold the needle.

[@ladyt3579]

Amazing tutorial discovered in my feed. Thanks to KZbin's clever matching tool based on what I like to watch. Lorna Jenkins you're a true legend of your generation. I am truly humbled to have you share your precious knowledge with a 46 year old refresher of knitting. You are truly, truly just amazing!! ☺️

[@RoddardUK]

I’ve just received the lovely knitting belt which I bought from you. Tried it out straight away just now and it is an absolute revelation. Oh my goodness, how much easier and quicker it is to knit. Why did I not know such a thing existed before? I hate circular needles and much prefer to work on double pointed needles, so this will be enormously helpful. It will help to speed up cable work too. Brilliant!

[@WoollyWoodlanders]

Thank you, glad you like it.

[@phattart]

My mum taught me to knit like this when i was 5 years old,i have taught my daughter's and granddaughters how to knit this way.

[@ThriftDiving]

I should also add that I've found using the steel needles makes it go faster. The yarn slides on the metal much easier than bamboo. Or it could be that my stitches are just too tight to move smoothly. ;)

[@sheilacripps9340]

This video just came up in my feed. Back story is long, so I’ll not bore you. Yes, I totally agree! Thought how neat to use bamboo, coming to the realization that steel needles work much better. Don’t think your stitches were too tight. :)

[@catofthecastle1681]

Use metal with wool and bamboo or other wood for slick yarns like cotton, linen, or silk!

[@sheilacripps9340]

@@catofthecastle1681 thank you for the tip! I’ll try the bamboo needles when I next knit with some of my cotton.

[@ThriftDiving]

I have been using the English method since I learned 8 years ago, but then I stopped knitting. I've recently started back up and have started watching knitting videos. I realize that I use the English method. Didnt realize that until now. Looks like I just need to refine my method with your suggestions. I'm halfway there! :)

[@jk28416]

British or western style its generally called, I don't think the Scottish or Irish would like it called 'English' haha. Euro style is more similar to crochet, ultimately its smoother and faster for regular knitting and in the round, but British style is far faster for pearl / moss / Aron style complexity. I believe the best knitter can do both styles.

[@Melia-77]

This is great info. The tips here are priceless. I have always knit with a needle tucked under my arm as this is the method my mother taught me. The small adjustments shown here really fine tune the process. Can't thank you enough.

[@WoollyWoodlanders]

Glad it was helpful!

[@beckstewart8271]

My mother knitted like this also, with the needle under her arm. I have always done it too, but never managed to refine my 'throw' like hers - it always looked like she was only flicking the end of her index finger! This video has been very helpful - I finally understand how to change my throw.

[@susieannei5641]

INCREDIBLE! you are a knitting machine! And your stitches are stellar!

[@dosdandelions8879]

Thank you so much! I have recently taken up knitting again. I was taught by my grandmother who was very fast and knit English but without a belt. She held the needle under her arm. It hurts me. Your belt idea is fabulous! I just use a leather belt that I have and twist the buckle and open part to my side, put the needle in there to rest and...voila! Bless you!!!

[@meganmills6545]

Hi WoollyWoodlanders, This is really a treat to watch - thank you so much! When you have a little time up your sleeve and you feel so inclined, I'd also love to see how you purl and do some other basic things like yarn overs and knit 2 togethers. Thanks again and kind regards, Megan

Oh, thank you so much for sharing this and for being such a wonderful teacher! I could clearly see the wrist and elbow movement that I have read about!

[@bonniekonjevich7574]

Did not even know there was such a style and have knitted 48 years... Never have I mastered German/European style AND thought it was the only other way TO KNIT fast. This is exciting to try since right handed seems my only way. Now a arthritic senior, it's fatiguing to continue the slow way I have. This enlightening video is encouraging!

[@WoollyWoodlanders]

So glad it help. I too am developing arthritis in my fingers and knitting is my way of ensuring they stay supple and muscular.

[@WoollyWoodlanders]

I am also a senior and my speed is retained. I hope my style suits you. I am now researching some very old film just discovered which shows a very senior lady knitting at around 2 or 3 stitches per second and I am now working on analysing her technique.

Hello Linda.......

[@janetbrown267]

I don't have words to express my gratitude for your channel. You don't have to read this whole thing. I am primarily a spinner who has 40 years of stash. I'm not really much of a weaver. I do like to knit and crochet. I taught my daughter, 53 years old now, how to spin at 13 and knit continental when she was in graduate school. Suddenlly She was born with 2 fingers on her right hand and right handed by nature. She has overcome this difficulty and is a successful artist in other media. Still, she is a colourest and longs to knit multi colours with seven fingers. I sent her your video with the Shetland ladies knitting so fast and pondered if that technique might help her. She is cautiously optimistic so I have been seeking information about the old ways. I'm trying to learn it so I can help her learn it. We sit across from each other and she mirrors what I do. Ir saves her time from her busy teaching and painting schedule. So many thanks for your help!!!!

[@JoanneZira]

I was taught to knit this way by my grandmother and I'm now in my sixties. I hold the needle under my arm though but I'm extremely fast. The small movement details you explained were really interesting.

I love that this is just making the learned methods easier and more effective. Knitting has become muscle memory for me, so doing anything differently is hard to understand and would mess me up. I understand this, though, because it’s just adjusted from what I was already doing.

You give a little push to the right needle with your left index finger the same way I do. I push with my thumb on purl stitches. I don't know how or when I started knitting this way, but I've done it for years. People have commented that I'm fast, so I guess it's true. 😊 Happy knitting!

Love to watch you over and over and over again!

[@cherieuk4488]

Thank you this will really help. I have found my knitting developing towards this naturally e.g. recently I have started to roll my right hand but it is great to see all these tips together. I will definitely be trying this :)

[@sunnydayz1024]

Wow, these are great hints that I will practice. And I've been teased about resting my right needle on my body, but I won't be embarrassed about it anymore, since you do it too! I'm not super coordinated in general, and as a youngster it was the only way I could knit and I've kept doing it that way for 50 years or so. Thank you!

[@WoollyWoodlanders]

There is no one right way to knit. I just analysed the process and realised I could cut out some of the movements.

[@chtitmog]

I used to be a flicker but eventually switched to continental knitting a few months ago because I developed pain on my right hand and arm which would prevent me from knitting longer than 20ish minutes. If I had discovered your video beforehand, maybe I would have not switched of knitting style at all - now, I've found a very ergonomic way to knit but so is your method. Your speed and beautiful stitches are impressive and you taught me that you actually don't need to go continental to go faster, you just need to minimize your movements. Thank you! 😄

[@annette2u]

Thanks for showing me I don't knit strange. Everyone in one of my knitting groups said I knit wrong. Now I know for sure I don't as knit just like you. Thank you, thank you for sharing. Should say I am left handed but do all my knitting, crocheting and sports right handed. Taught left but switched to right as soon as I understood how to make the stitches. Learnt to knit when I was six years of age.

[@WoollyWoodlanders]

No such thing as wrong knitting, is there? .If the finished product is good then any method is correct. Just some work for some people better than other methods. I go to a small knitting group and the different styles are amazing.

[@caroleshaw9822]

Hi Annette2u, I am just like you!, I am a leftie but, I do all my knitting, crocheting and sport right handed as well. But I can do both. I learned to knit when I was about 5 or 6, by my nana, who was left handed. I feel that however method you use, is the right way.... I am not sure why people have issues with how we hold our needles and yarn xx

[@sheilacripps9340]

annette2u Annette, I’m a lefty also; however, as my mum was right handed and knitted constantly. I learned at an early age (about 5 or 6) to knit right handed! I learned to crochet when I was about 11, also right handed. I have figured out that it does not really matter how you hold the needles or the yarn as long as you, yourself enjoy the experience of creating something someone will cherish. These were some excellent tips though. I couldn’t figure out though how Lorna was ‘holding’ her yarn to keep the correct tension. It was a shame that the video didn’t show that. Happy knitting and crocheting! Also Happy New Year!! :) Sheila Cripps Middleburg Florida.

Knitting is a great tradition, nice to see you knitting. Thank you

[@courag1]

I really love your demonstration, has been so helpful to me. I do have loads of 14" long bamboo knitting needles. I don't have a knitting belt, but I found that a dress belt I have with a wide length of elastic forming most of the belt, can be used. At first I tried using it with the buckle part holding the cap on the end of the needle. Bit fiddly. Then I wore the belt as normal, and can just tuck its end in the elastic part on my side and it works every so well for me. Takes the weight off and does speed up my knitting. I am currently knitting an afghan for a retirement present for my husband and it is all garter stitch so learning this comes at a perfect time for me. I am already a flicker so it is not much change for my right hand. Have a bit of arthritis in my right wrist so this method give me relief. Many thanks for your lovely video and much love to you. -- Love your spinning wheel.

[@WoollyWoodlanders]

What a lovely story - I am so pleased for you. I bought the spinning wheel in the 1970s when there was a revival in the UK, mostly by the younger women. I also use it for un-plying too-thick yarns and then respinning them again separately.

[@knapper147]

Thanks for your skill share. My mother used to knit really fast, and watch telly at the same time. She only had one hand too. She taught me but I never really started knitting until after her death. My grandma would do stocking stich by forward and back plain stitching, which I have yet to try.

Hello Maggie......

[@ReltubTheWiz]

Thank you for your demonstration. I have found so many videos on you tube where people knit a contintental way, it's so good to see someone knitting pretty much how I was taught, except I mainly flick my right finger round the right needle and have the wool threaded through and wound round my littler finger to get an even tension. With your tips I think I will be able to increase my speed, many thanks.

Hello Anne........

[@wilhelminejouffroy-decock3545]

Happy New Year Lorna ! And thank you for your knitting knowledge and for sharing it so generously. Those techniques are tending to disappear; it seems that one only finds continental knitting techniques on the Internet. So, your videos are very valuable. Do you know if there exists magic loop devices for circular knitting with long needles (40 cm) for armpit English style knitters? Because I’ve found absolutely nothing as the trend focuses resolutely on continental style. All those needles - even the longest ones - are too short for me as a content armpit knitter who doesn’t want, nor need, to learn the continental technique, that seems much more tiring for my arms and shoulders and too far away from my eyes, when the needles are floating in the air without any support and at least at 40 cm from the eyes or rest on the lap at a far greater distance from the eyes. I’ve always learned that a distance of 30 cm from the eyes is ideal for writing and handwork. 30 cm is what you have with armpit knitting. Besides, you have then support for both your right arm and hand that kind of rest on the right needle. I never have any pain from knitting that way or crocheting, and I do both a lot. When knitting in the round, I still use four (or five) double pointed needles, though I must say that the magic loop needles have an interesting practical aspect. Think I’ll go to the aquarium shop and buy some fine plastic tube to fix it on two pointed needles… Someday I’ll try that out… Looking forward to your reply and kind regards from Wilhelmine, an also long-time Belgian knitter 😊.

[@Erginartesia]

Wow! Here I was thinking, why in the world did English knitters start using the “throw method” when it takes soo much more movement. I’d heard about how the long ago knitters claimed to reach speeds of over 3 per second. That is soooo fast! I’ve also heard of knitting belts, but this is the first time I’ve seen it used. Those smart english knitters! I’ll bet it is far less stress on the hands and wrist too. Can you show us purling? Thank you for showing us.

[@WoollyWoodlanders]

Children here in England are usually taught to knit using the throw method. Very quickly, most of them learn to keep hold of the right-hand needle and adapt their style. However, many retain the learning method which is of course very slow.

Ye. I clicked on the video not realising I had already been taught this way by my mum. I'm British so maybe that's why. Anyway, I'm pretty quick but working on a massive project so looking for tips on getting faster. (I have about 60 patches to knit in garter stitch that are roughly 7 square inches). Good video even if it wasn't good for my purposes I will show it to any beginners I come across in the future.

[@eleanorfetterman2493]

This is awesome i wanted to learn to knit I hope you make more videos using this method

[@aaronlewis8406]

Excellent lesson on knitting faster - that is how I knit. It is fast and low stress. I also find that for plain knitting in the round, I like 2.3 mm /3/32" spring steel needles with flat ends. I use a knitting sheath for all knitting -- it works better than a belt for flat ended needles. I use pointed needles for other stitches. I knit ribbing with flat ended needles. (With flat ends, the movements are smaller, and the yarn is less likely slip off the needle too soon.) Thus, when I sit down to knit a pair of socks, I have 8 - nine-inch-long spring steel needles. Switching back and forth between the blunt and pointed needles can save an hour or two on a pair of socks. I use 12" and 18" long needles for larger objects. Such knitting makes knitting 12 stitches and 20 rows per 4-inchs reasonable on 1.5 mm needles, and finer knitting possible. Such fabrics make lovely, durable objects. and inspire awe. I like a 6-ply/1680 ypp yarn for fine socks and ganseys knit on 1.5 mm needles.

Its my second day knitting, and i dont have the needles for that. However, i was able to apply some of the processes by pressing the working side needle into my hip, and gained a lot of speed as well as beingore ergonomic. I keep seeing those long needles, so I guess ill get some. Thanks so much!
