I just received this traditional knitting belt from Jamieson & Smith in the Shetland Islands. I also ordered the 2 sets of 40 cm DPN's.

I've played around a bit with this and I can see how it increases one's knitting speed. It takes a bit to get used to, especially the long DPN's.

Has any MWK member had any experience using the knitting belt? Does anyone know some tutorial or information links about it?
