Demonstration of unusual knitting technique
This is one of the stitches that Merike Saarniit teaches in her Estonian Yo-Yo Stitches workshop. For more information on this workshop go to:
This was from one of my original Estonian YoYo Stitches workshop handouts (as were the other examples at the end of the video). I have taught classes in these multiple-wrapped stitches at Stitches events, John C Campbell Folk School and other venues. Merike Saarniit www.Liisu.com
Wow, this was like watching an action movie. Nearly had a heart attack watching all those stitches sliding off the needle!! Ha ha! Really cool technique. Thanks for providing a visual on this one. :D
