A trick that involves using both hands. In this movement the pen goes around one finger of each hand in a continuous way. It can be done with other finger combinations, like 22’, 13’, etc.

It is a fundamental trick in 2h spinning and is widely used in most combos.

History

In recorded pen spinning history, the trick was first invented and named by Chris from Microjuggling in 1999. In Japan it was discovered independently and named ソー (sew) as the trick’s execution is similar to an old person sewing sweaters.

Notation

Formal Notation

As a simultaneous around:

two finger twirl 11' = Cont (Indexaround 1 + Index'around 1')

As a pass

two finger twirl 11' = Cont pass 1b1p'-1p1b'>1b1p

The traditional way to break it down is as a former. However, for it to be an around it would need to be in an unstable slot at some point, which doesn’t happen. Thus, it would be better broken down as a pass, which is also the reason it’s classified here as such.
