Arm knitting is becoming super popular.

It's a fantastic craft for beginners

and cheap as well.

All you need is a ball of yarn and you

can be on your way to making something.

Arm knitting is fantastic for children & adults.

Once learned you will be surprised how

quickly you can make something

with some beautiful chunky yarn.

Amanda was a frustrated knitter,

like me she found it so time consuming

she would often give up.

Then she found arm knitting and within

a short period of time she was making

cheaper and less time consuming projects.

Amanda has brought her experience together

to create a fantastic book that teaches

you to arm knit and then uses these

skills to make some amazing projects.

The thing I love about the book is Amanda

shows you how to do everything with your

hands and arms.

This even includes sewing in your ends.

 

No other tools are needed except a pair of scissors.

This means it's a lot cheaper to start.

No needles, no hooks required.

The book is broken down into sections.

These sections are split into the approximate

length of time it will take you to make

the project.

10 Minutes

15 Minutes

20 Minutes

30 Minutes

45 Minutes

60 Minutes

I love the idea of splitting the book into

the length of time it will take you.

If you've not got long you can make

one of the quick projects

and if you want more of a fix

then choose a longer project.

I don't know about you but I'd only really

seen cowls made with arm knitting.

Amanda changes this preconception

and makes everything from a headband to boot cuffs,

mug cosy to a footstool cover.

I am amazed by the techniques she has used.

There is even a cabled blanket!

Using the different stitches and yarns

Amanda has really created an amazing

array of projects for you to make.

I have already put the yarn on my Christmas list

so I can make the basic blanket.

It's amazing that you can arm knit a blanket

in 60 minutes.

The instructions are clear and easy to understand.

with the use of photo's it makes it easier to

understand the directions.

I can't wait to get started on my first arm knitting project.

This book would make a brilliant present

for someone.

Why not include a selection of yarn for them

and on the day they could have their

first project finished.

Love this book! Brilliant for yourself or as a present.
