Out of the Ordinary

Scarf ; arms used as knitting needles – next … ? (re-post from Nov 12 2009)

IMG_0883 The scarf that I made  in the summer is now being worn as the weather has turned cool. 

I much like its warmth without weight and the looseness of the 'negative spaces'.

I like the freeform spinning  and using my arms as knitting needles.

It would be great fun to take the spinning wheel out to a field and meet the sheep about to have its locks shorn and sit there with the raw fleece and spin it into yarn and  arm knit it into something and then show it to the sheep.  Perhaps this will be arranged.

  1. Knit with the arms – wow – that never occurred to me before – LOVE IT! I’m going to have to try that.
    Happy Knitting,

  2. Hello Terri
    It is fun. Am in the process of crocheting the same way. I bet you’ve used your arm as a shuttle!
