Eureka! Sort Of, Anyway...

I've been trying for a good part of the day and I can't figure out how to get a post and a video in the same posting so this will have to do.  In the next post down you'll find a little video.  Neat, huh?  It'd be better if I could put it all together with this post but this will have to do for now.

This was video we took at the Isleburgh Exhibit in Lerwick.  Watch those fingers fly!  I told you they knit fast!  Now, with the magic of video, you can actually watch them yourself!  Way cool, no?
The woman in the white is knitting a lace hap shawl and the one in the green is knitting a fair isle pattern. I can't knit plain 'ol one-color stockinette that fast!

(*&#$*(#&$(  *(&^($&$!!!

I just checked and that post is gone now!  GRRRR.  Okay.  I'm going to try again.  Obviously, it'll be in the post above this now.... I hope.

Okay... it worked.  That's me standing off to the left.  See what's in my hands?  The gloves I showed you before! 

You can blame Dan that he didn't zoom in on their fingers closer so you could see the belt and needles. He gets embarrassed taping people.  Yeesh.

Sweet Lord. I have a LONG way to go, but now I really believe that knitting is protective as you age!!

Your video is blowing my mind. Do these ladies give speed-knitting seminars? It would be the next best thing to those extra hands I wish I had.

Too bad we all can't knit that fast!! I'm glad that you are posting regularly again (even though I have been a slacker on my blog) and yall are at the halfway mark of deployment!

Wow!!! That is superspeed...I don't think even if I was on a caffeine high I could knit that fast. That is really, really neat!

Dan's gotta take you back to get a close-up. I'm amazed at how those fingers fly. The only thing that I can think of that's even CLOSE is watching the bank teller count bills, and she moves more than your knitters do!

Good grief! If I could knit that fast, just think of all knitted items I'd have around here!

[Renee]

Holy cats! Imagine knitting that fast!

[benne]

Okay, I'm a slacker.

Ah, come on! You had it play in fast forward, right? Geesh! Look at them go!
