ARM KNITTING

ARM KNITTING

November 2014

A coworker pointed it out to me...the new thing arm knitting. Pinterest and Fb were full of it...and honestly it looked like a fun thing to do.

 So me, always into learning something new, took my thick Icelandish yarn and started it.  It was not easy not ending up bound by myself on the kitchen floor, but after a few rows....I got the hang of it and made a scarf. 

I really liked making them...but I did not like the way it looked. But  I did not like the way it looked....You can't debate taste. 

I gave it for Xmas to a friend who really loved it, making it an even better exercise for me.

This was not my last time. A craft buddy of mine had seen the post about hand knitting too.  And she wanted to knit a blanket.  I was all for and to show her how and what, I got my arms in the yarn again.
This time not one strain of thick yarn, but 3 strains of Lion Brand Homespun. I love Homes[un, whatever you make with it looks great.
The blanket was made in no time and my friends attempt was successful as well....But after testing the blanket on a recliner relaxing and reading night, I decided it just wasn't for me....So I undid the blanket, which was as easy as knitting it...and will probable knit a blanket from it with needles. :)

Still arm knitting is fun to do.
