What It Is
Arm knitting is a needle-free technique where your forearms replace the needles. Because the yarn is so thick, every loop covers real ground — which is why a full-size blanket is achievable in a single sitting rather than over weeks.
In this workshop you pick your yarn colors, learn the casting-on and looping motion, and work row by row with step-by-step guidance until your blanket is finished and bound off. You leave with a 60 x 60 inch chunky merino blanket you made entirely by hand.
