Looking to add some color to my living room, I decided to try my hand (or shall I say arms) at an arm-knitted throw for the couch. The pattern is given in this Drops video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsvwDCFB7Lo, although I found this blog with pictures of the technique to be essential for getting the tension tight enough: http://www.flaxandtwine.com/2014/02/arm-knitting-how-to-photo-tutorial-part-2-knitting/. As it turns out, the secret is in how you grab the yarn with your thumb and turn the newly-formed stitch to put it on your other "needle."
Hope you enjoy this bit of craziness. No, I did not take any pictures while it was on my arms.
The finished project will be on the blog as soon as I can copy the picture off the camera... which may be a while :)
