how I knit quickly and some general knitting tips for beginners | knitting vlog ep. 28

Please note, there is absolutely no need to knit quickly! Finish projects (or don’t, believe me I have a giant pile of wips) at your own pace it’s not a competition :) But a lot of people ask me for tips on how I knit so quickly and since I have a lot of ideas I want to make, I’ve picked up a few tips and techniques.
