knitting with both hands

I have tried this but found my tension was pretty different - I enrolled in a class at the retreat next week that features two- handed color work to see if I can get some help in doing this evenly and improving my skill as it would certainly make things go more quickly. Probably the main need is for practice with attention to tension.

Hehehehehe! I saw the subject and thought "of COURSE I knit with two hands!"

I can knit with up to 5 colors, slowly. I carry three on the left and pick, two on the right and throw. I have to go slowly because my picking and throwing tensions are quite different. Needless to say this is a parlor trick, IMO. I will do 3-color knitting pretty routinely though, especially for small projects like caps.

I can and it wouldn't be pretty. :)

About Cat living with me /us , we all have our stories ,, when my dog still lived , We adjusted to each other. We picked him up from a animal shelter he was about 2 years and mobody knew much about his former life. It took him time to adjust to ours, and than he quickly found my workroom and my loom, and one of the first days he sort of streched my loom, i sat down with him , stroked him and told him not to do it. He never did it again. Of course i put a specail rug for him near my loom. One day he was a bit playful, but i didn`t think it was unusual , in fact i played a lot with him [ His Vet said i am restoring the dog`s lost childhood] , When we went out he pooped out a piece of string with a piece of nylon , to my schock i understood , he swallowed [ after playing with it ] a little bag with threads and it came out dirty but as was,,, we took him to his vet, who scolded me for not taking care , we had a long talk with the dog , and he never did it again.. But i must tell another cute thing every morning at

08.30 , he would go up to my work room and bark at me, that it is time to start working . He laoved the Sun and would MOOVE the carpet in my workroom or son`s room with the mooving Sun spot , Now that we are owned by a cat , he loves to sit on my lap , and if my knitting disturbs him, he just shoves it away ,,, of course knitted items , wool bags , wool baskets are all his DOMAIN to sleep in curl up in etc,,,

-------------- As to putting wools in jars / bowls etc ,, it doesn`t work for me , sorry ,, if i work near the loom one on top one under , but i knit in other places , thus the bowls aren` t practical for me ,

I try to keep to 3 or less as Wooly stated.

I have used up to 5 but I am not fast then.
