1. From beginner knitters to advanced knitters, everyone is
looking for tricks to increase their speed and finish their
projects quickly. There are a few simple tricks that most
people don't know about that can dramatically improve
your knitting time. The average knitter knits about thirty
stitches per minute. With these tips, you can double that
number and spend half the time you normally would to
finish your projects!

2. Getting the right tools is the first step. Addi Turbo needles
are the perfect brand of knitting needles for speed, as they
are nickel plated with brass tips. These needles are known
as the highest quality and most versatile in the knitting
industry, so you can use them on a number of different
projects. For lace projects that use finer weight yarn, try
the Addi Lace needles, which are made entirely of brass
and have sharp tips for finer work.

3. Generally, metallic needles will give you a lot more speed
than plastic or bamboo needles. Both of these brands will
really rev up your knitting and slide your stitches from one
needle to the next with ease. These needles are sold
separately and in interchangeable needle sets. With these
sets, you can always have the right size needle at the
ready!

4. Learning a new style of knitting can really improve your
speed. Continental and English are the two major styles of
knitting. In English, the yarn is held in the right hand and
thrown over to create a new stitch. I find the Continental
style a lot quicker: the yarn is held in the left hand and
picked at by the right needle. If you're interested in
learning this new style, search "Continental Knitting" on
YouTube.com.

5. Holding yourself correctly is the next step. When knitting,
you should keep your shoulders, elbows, and wrists very
relaxed. Try to reduce your hand and finger movements as
much as possible. You only want to perform just enough
movement to accomplish the stitch. Remember to take
frequent breaks from knitting to stretch for optimal
comfort and health.

6. Knitting is generally faster than purling. If you need to
create a tube in stockinette stitch, it is faster to knit in the
round rather than knit flat and seam it up the side. To
increase confidence, work on small projects that only take
a few hours to knit. Hats, children's clothing, and
fingerless gloves are great small projects that you can
finish in a small amount of time.

7. If you need to produce items quicker than your hands will
let you, consider investing in a knitting machine. Addi
carries two fantastic machines: The Addi Express knitting
machine for small projects, and the Addi Express king size
machine for larger projects. If you sell knitted items, have
arthritis, or just want to design and own knit items quickly,
these two products are great to check out.

8. If you are a hand knitter, try to develop a steady rhythm in
your knitting. This comes with practice: once you get the
motion of your knitting style down, it's just a matter of
repetition. Circular needles like Addi Turbos and Addi Lace
Needles are perfect for improving your knitting speed
drastically. The more often you practice, the sooner you
will master your chosen knitted style and finish your
project with ease!
