I'm the North American record holder for speed knitting at 253 stitches in three minutes. I'm Linda Venney, North America's fastest knitter. It came about out of sheer boredom. When I first opened the store, it wasn't terribly busy, so I would just race myself and just try to get faster and faster. Knitting for a living, I'm using my hands all the time. So when I'm in pain or discomfort, I know my Walgreens is right around the corner and they have everything I need to get me back to being fast.
