Makayla LeBlanc wow for me casting on was really confusing

[@Kanojo22]

I love this video!! Christmas is in two days and I haven't even started shopping yet 😅 but now, everyone is getting a scarf lol. This method is so easy and so fun!!

[@TumbleweedAdventures]

I'm just learning, enjoyed this. You are clear and easy to follow. 💛

[@marisapanzarin2910]

Ive never heard of arm knitting until now. It's amazing now I've seen everything. I never new you could knit with another body part apart from knitting needles.

[@eriamalyak3547]

Imagine if you were in the middle of arm knitting and suddenly someone broke into your house... you’d already be tied up! Jk, I love arm knitting (and knitting in general)

Awesome looking scarf!!!

[@amandascreativeretreat4574]

We done this as a skillshare. We used 5 balls of 8ply yarn (using a strand of each ball, so you have 5 strands of 8ply). It turned out really nice. So for anyone asking about multicolours, or different ply yarn, it can be done =)

[@getgodspeed]

great instructions; I'm trying this!

[@mattynoonan4428]

Such a great, clear, well shot and narrated tutorial. So easy to learn from it. I bought t-shirt yarn today and wanted to arm knit. Yours was the first tutorial I came across and I don’t need to watch any others. I’m arm knitting now! Thank you!

[@mattynoonan4428]

Ok... so I tried it. I got my right arm cast on and then transferred to the left arm. I got 15 stitches cast on but found as I transferred them, as I got to the last 3 or 4 stitches the strands between each arm got wider and wider and when I got to the last stitch there was a big mess I couldn’t tighten and I had to pull it all apart. How can I avoid this? I kept tugging to keep it tight. Not sure where it went wrong. I’m trying again!

[@pratikshasamvatsar348]

I did it. 2 red scarves. 🥳🥳🥳 excellent tutorial.

[@jennagl4317]

Good arm workout!

[@christinalittleton2242]

Hey Amanda. This might sound like a weird question, but do you knit better in the daytime or nighttime? The reason why I ask is because (this is just a theory) creativity tends to strike at the minds in the middle of the night. I'm not sure why that happens, but still. Also, I love the infinity scarves! They look like it's impossible and complex to make them until you know on how they're made.

[@tracynagy3059]

What she doesn't say is how much yarn you need which is tricky because super bulky has lots of variation. The first time I used red heart super bulky (6sts) and 45 yards wasn't enough. Second time I got 62 yards of a different super bulky which had 5.5 sts (called mega bulky) and this got me a good double wrap length.

[@tinabrown6469]

It takes only one skein of ball of yarn per scarf
