I finger knitted another "scarf"

This is the second one and used the rest of the skein of yarn. I really like it and the quality is better. The first time I made three mistakes, this one has only one part where the "tension" was sort of loose on it. I've got more yarn coming to me, and have been looking at other things you can do with finger knitting. I'm going to use two strands of the same weighted yarn you see pictured here. This should make a thicker scarf, and will have more of a pattern as I'll be using different colors. I eventually want to try arm knitting. I don't want to put too much money into it though as I am not sure if it's something I will be able to expand on. I'm encouraged by how easy finger knitting is and how easy it seems knitting with your arms can be though. I won't give up by any means, but I don't want to spend too much money on something I may not have the "knack" for. I showed my uncle this project and he said "I didn't know you had the talent for this stuff." I told him I don't this was sheer luck! haha! *Picture is mine*

Nice and sparkly! All of that skein is gone and I didn't buy another like it. I'm killing two birds with one stone though as I buy the yarn online at walmart and earn cash back via swagbucks.

@ScribbledAdNauseum Yes, the photo captured the sparkles nicely! Reminds me of the holidays again! That is awesome you can buy yarn online and get cash back via Swagbucks. Do you get free shipping also or free ship to store?

@infatuatedbby No I don't do the ship to store option. I *think* that I couldn't do it that way via swagbucks but I am not sure. I want to get another skein of this and one of a green color with sparkles. It does make me think of the Christmas holidays for sure, but the red can be universal.

This did not take long to work up at all. I know that you can find different patterns and projects with instructions that will give you a timeframe it usually works up in.

Yes! It's also very relaxing for me. I am waiting for more yarn to come my way. I ordered some via swagbucks / walmart. I've been looking at patterns and the such.

Great job. I have always wanted to finger knit. My best friend made me a blanket a couple years back with the arm knitting. It is a really fun idea and the blanket is really neat. Although it is really loose but very pretty. i would really recommend trying it once though. She said it was really fun to do

The tutorial I watched on arm knitting was by simply maggie. She used a material that was pretty wide. She stressed trying to make the stitches as tight as possible so there wouldn't be very many gaps. I may try it one day but the length I would desire would mean a lot of skeins of the material. The tutorial I watched used 11 skeins and it was probably a tad bigger than a baby blanket. I would want it to fit my bed, so double that.

@ScribbledAdNauseum It does indeed take a lot of materiel. I am not sure how my best friend did it but I think she just used a regular type yarn and put about 4 of them together. She only made me a small blanket though.
