Giant Yarn: Learn Arm Knitting Techniques

Giant Yarn: Learn Arm Knitting Techniques

“Thank you so much for taking part in this course and I hope you've enjoyed it. It's now time to work on your project. This could mean finishing the blanket you started by completing the course tasks or making a brand-new project! Either way, I strongly suggest you take the time to gather inspiration and make a unique project of your own. Make sure to keep track of your progress with different pictures of each step. It'd be great if you could also explain the choices you've made along the way and tell us if you have any doubts. This will help me guide you better if you need advice. Here are some final tips to guide you on your journey: Preparation Decide what size blanket you are going to create and what colour/s you are going to use. Calculate how much yarn you will need, then prepare your yarn. Casting On Cast on your stitches, choosing your preferred cast-on method.

The Knitting Process Start knitting your blanket. Focus on keeping an even tension throughout and watch out for any mistakes so you can fix them early on. Casting Off Cast off your stitches and weave in the ends securely and neatly. And that's all! Thanks again for choosing this Domestika course. It has been an absolute pleasure to share this craft with you. I really hope you have enjoyed the process and are filled with enthusiasm to create your own arm-knitted pieces. Once you get used to using your arms as needles and you know the basic knitting techniques of casting on, creating stitches, and casting off, you can create all kinds of beautiful, large-scale pieces. Remember my course project with the pink and green stripes is just an example. I chose bright, contrasting colours so you could see the process clearly. But, when it comes to your own project, you have the freedom to choose whatever colours you like. You might create a blanket with just the long, looping knit stitches, or perhaps you will design a different pattern, applying the technique of alternating the knit and purl stitches. I can't wait to see what you've come up with. You can share your work with us so by clicking on 'Create your project'. Remember to share both the final result and the steps that have led you to them. It would be great if you showed a picture of each step and added a brief explanation about what you have done in each one. I will be more than happy to answer any of the questions you might have along the way! I will try to get back to you as soon as possible. You can also find me on social media! In the meantime, participate in the forum, comment on others' work, and interact with the community. See you there! ”
