    Default Lost your knitting needles?

    Just saw this video from Michaels craft website. This is pretty creative. Have to try it with the DGD

    It looks harder than just using jumbo knitting needles to me.

    Wow. Chunky chunky. Not sure I would like to wear a jumper so thick and so many threads. I found the video a good laugh.

    I love it. What a great way to teach someone to knit. You just have to make sure you go to the bathroom before you start. hehehehe

    I actually saw these first hand at Christmas Eve gathering. They are very chunky. Ours were made from cheneille yarn; turned out quite soft.

    kinda cool, another why didn't i think of that moment.
    what do you do when you have to go??? or put
    it down. a great way to teach kids how to knit, or
    stubborn adults, like myself.

    That was interesting though I kept wondering what would happen if I put socks on my hands like sock puppets - could be crazy!

    Anyway, I may try it with my great niece.
