Finger Knitting Fun

I am working on some projects for summer camps I am planning on offering this summer. I am super excited to be planning a Fiber Art class full of cool activities. I was running some ideas by my older girl and she wanted to give the finger knitting idea a try. We used a very helpful YouTube tutorial here. She learned after school around 3:30......





and 3 hours later she was on her third project...






It was so easy to learn. We just watched the video several times and then grabbed the yarn and watched again pressing pause after each step. The next day two friends came over and she taught them how and within minutes they were all doing it. She added some beads and turned her yarn chains into a necklace for her sister and then made a extra long scarf for me.

I wished we lived closer so I could send my son to camp with you! Good luck with it, you don't need it b/c your projects are fab! Tracey

This is cool. I hope the days slow down around here so we can try this before I forget! I think Micah could make some cool rope with this, you know, nothing too girly. (not that scarves are girly)
