I appreciate the help from 12.32.13.98 filling out this page, but there's no reason to diss on English knitting so much, especially as the criticisms aren't even true. English knitters can keep both hands on the needles perfectly well, and maintain yarn tension in the exact same way as Continental knitters. When they do these things, their speed is not significantly different from Continental knitters.
Also, FYI, Combined knitting is not the same as Fair Isle, though it's a reasonable mistake if you've never heard of Combined before (I know I just learned about it this summer). I've now stubbed it so that doesn't happen again. /blahedo (t) 06:27, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
