Have you seen the latest trend in arm knitting?
It's knitting with your arms!
I was skeptical at first, not knowing how successful this attempt would be. Of course, I have been knitting since I was a little girl, but I wasn't sure if I could actually knit with my arms. It's a different concept, but as I found out, an easy one to learn!
Of course, you need super bulky yarn, and even multiple strands of it, which becomes quite expensive. But looking in my stash, I found 4 skeins of Bernat Blanket Yarn -- just what I needed! (It was probably for such a project that I abandoned.)
I found an awesome tutorial and got to work. I made this blanket in an hour! Can you believe that? I usually abandon projects that take too long, i.e. knit blankets. But not this one! 1 hour, folks. Now, the pattern says it takes under 3 hours. I suppose it depends on your speed. (I found this pattern on yarnsiparitions.com, if you're curious. http://www.yarnspirations.com/patterns/arm-knit-3-hour-blanket.html)
Want to see some photos??
Yes, I modeled my own blanket. It was super fun though! I also took these pictures. Self-timer is a great feature on a camera!
