Have you ever heard of ARM KNITTING?

I saw this being done while at the hairdresser the other day.
One of the staff made a scarf in about 20 minutes and it looked great.

I have since looked it up online and it is quite easy though not quite sure how to "cast on", but will try it with some of the llama wool that I have from when I bred llamas, and spun the wool!

I have indeed seen this,though it was only in the past few years.I used to do 'Finger' knitting when I was a kid and it also was very quick and easy.The memories of that simple craft came flooding in when I first saw the 'Arm' knitting,as I do see a connection there.It is a brilliant idea when you wish to make a genuine surprise gift for someone in a hurry!!

I have never seen anything like this!!
I LOVE it!
Wow, that is really something else, whoever came up with this idea is once again in my book a Genius.
Love it...Love it :) yes I would try it, for sure.

The application I think for older people and young alike, is really great.

I think it would be nicer done by a child as the holes are really big on an adult! Or a thin arm!

I think it is such a great application, that should be loved by all arm sizes...whoever wants to do it go ahead, I think it would give great pleasure to all. :) I don't care really, it's just so unique!

I should post how to do it on a craft hub! Guess someone else will after this question...

yesss Finy! :)

LOL Jonah -but i havent yet done it so by the time I do it, someone else will have pinched the idea!!

awaaa lol :)

No this is something new to me.....fascinating, would love to try it and may get some wool out now and fiddle around and experiment with it, can't be rocket science ha ha!

by Fran

the hardest part for me is how to cast on......

Indeed I have heard of it but it doesn't appeal to me as something to try. I go more in the opposite direction and prefer small delicate knitting that takes a long time to do....

by VerityG

Im going to try it with thin llama wool and pulled tightly....so that it is more delicate

This looks crazy! I would love to learn how to do it!

by Vee

It looks gorgeous, I'd love to give it a go!

What a great idea...it looks like fun! I especially like how you can make things very quickly with it.
