00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:01,690
- I'm Carla Scott.

2
00:00:01,690 --> 00:00:04,160
I'm executive editor of
Vogue Knitting Magazine

3
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:07,078
and editor-in-chief of
Knit Simple Magazine.

4
00:00:07,078 --> 00:00:10,529
In the past 30 plus years that
I've been in this industry,

5
00:00:10,529 --> 00:00:13,150
I've watched so many people knit

6
00:00:13,150 --> 00:00:15,240
and what I find so amazing about this

7
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:17,480
is that they all have different styles.

8
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,368
I always say there's no wrong way to knit.

9
00:00:20,368 --> 00:00:22,951
(upbeat music)

10
00:00:28,679 --> 00:00:30,839
Over the years, I've developed a style

11
00:00:30,839 --> 00:00:33,740
and I consider myself
to be a fast knitter.

12
00:00:33,740 --> 00:00:36,600
So in order to knit fast, you
have to keep your stitches

13
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,369
up close to the points of the needles.

14
00:00:39,369 --> 00:00:41,670
I always wrap my yarn
around my little finger

15
00:00:41,670 --> 00:00:43,979
and then my index finger.

16
00:00:43,979 --> 00:00:46,350
So as you see I use my left finger

17
00:00:46,350 --> 00:00:47,899
to kind of maneuver the needles

18
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,469
and those stitches are always
up really close to the points.

19
00:00:52,469 --> 00:00:54,289
It's not weird to have
your knitting at the tips.

20
00:00:54,289 --> 00:00:56,829
You have to be careful because
they could slip off easily

21
00:00:56,829 --> 00:00:59,759
so I use my left finger
to keep them in place

22
00:00:59,759 --> 00:01:01,213
so that they don't slip off.

23
00:01:02,350 --> 00:01:03,939
The other reason I like to knit fast

24
00:01:03,939 --> 00:01:06,359
is it keeps my stitches nice and straight

25
00:01:06,359 --> 00:01:07,802
and the tension very even.
