If you’ve never tried you hand at arm knitting, well…let’s just say you’re overdue a treat! As the name suggests, it’s a unique take on knitting where the conventional tools you might use are in fact replaced with your own arms. There’s a bit more to it than that of course, but in terms of picking up the basics and getting going, just give yourself a single hour and you’ll be well on your way to creating something marvelous!
