It's 4 am and I couldn't sleep sooo I went looking for something to help me get sleepy but instead this makes me want to get started knitting so, thanks a lot. Really though, I love this! Thank you for posting this. I am going to make me one. xox
This was so easy. I'm going to try it. I believe I mastered the arm knitting or crocheting (except I keep leaving one or two big loops 🤔). Thanks for sharing the details.
Hey Mandy, its just super awesome. I am really a big fan of finger knitting and I am glad that I came to see your beautiful video. Just gonna give it a try tomorrow. 😉
THANK YOU for doing this video from this perspective. I am a tactile person, or hands-on, and I have trouble when someone shows me how to do something like knitting, I can't turn it around to my perspective. My brain won't do it. So, this PERFECT! Also, I appreciate the fact that while using a lighter yarn, you didn't use a lighter background. That drives me crazy as it is very hard to see when both match up. The dark background really helps. I have 2 friends whose bdays are coming up and I was going to arm knit them both a scarf. I don't like how loose arm knitting is or I can't quite ever get the stiches tight enough. Too many BIG holes. After watching your video and finger knitting, think you have solved my problem!
I made about 6 of these in 1 day and I can't get enough! thank you for this video I am making lots for xmas gifts this year with matching hats I am a knitting and crochet addict and I didn't think there was something I didn't know xoxox
That's awesome!! The matching hats are a great idea!! I'm glad my video was helpful! I have more cute DIYs to come if I ever find the time!! Thanks for watching!! XOXO
So beautiful!! I really want to make one my question is how long did you make it? So that when you double it it fits nicely?! Thanks for this awesome tutorial xo
Thank you! Before I started knitting, I took a single peice of yarn and wrapped around my neck twice to see roughly how long I wanted my scarf to be and where I wanted it to lay. Then I measured the yarn with a tape measure. I made this one about 60"... 😊
Jay Rich If finite finger function is difficult you can finger knit btwn 2 fingers just in the same way a person knits with the same results. If that isnt possible then it is possible 2 crochet using a universal cuff which straps around your hand it has a small slot through which a fork or spoon or larger crochet hook could go. Use you teeth to adjust the strap. Then use the crochet hook to wind the yarn btwn the fingers of your other hand for tension. Even if all u can create is a chain. Those chains can add up 2 a nice looking project if made with a vry chunky super thick yarn. Get redy for a shoulder work out because by not using your hands you have to compensate with moving your shoulder and wrist. Your rotator cuff muscles will hate u but eventually u will get good at it.
Oh no, sorry to hear that. Don't give up though. As you can tell by Liysha Quoin's comment, there's always a way to be creative no matter the obstacle. Thanks for watching....
How would you wash something like this? hand wash ?sorry I am very clueless just learning. I love the way you teach by the way and I have seen loads of these videos today haha.
I would recommend hand washing. If the scarf if woven tight enough it might be ok on a gentle cycle but Ive never taken the chance. Thanks for watching 😊
Oh yes. I have many more ideas for videos it’s just hard to find the time to hit record and edit. I’m actually editing a video for a DIY fall centerpiece. I hope to have it up in the next few days!
Debbie After hand washing u will want to dry it by gently pressing it against the side of he sink or tub then roll it up in a towel and step/stand/hop on it. The towel wicks most of the moisture away.
Cashmere wool is one of my favorites but can be pretty pricey. The yarn I use here is very nice, especially for the price! Also, look for yarn that is geared toward making baby blankets. So soft and usually very affordable. 😊
Thank you, Mandy. I picked up alpaca yarn because it felt so soft. :) I'm sure cashmere wool feels wonderfully soft, too. I do want to pick a soft economical one so I can make more items! I will look for the one in the video. and for baby blankets - great idea! Thanks again.
Lol.. Not a whole lot of things harder than math in my opinion. haha. This really is pretty easy. Once you get the hang of it, you don’t even have to watch your hands work. It took several attempts to get it but now I make them while I’m watching TV.
She's showing everything she is doing. This is exactly the same as knitting with needles, so, if you have a basic understanding of stockinette stitch (only knitting, without purling), you shouldn't have any trouble with this. It's just using your fingers as the needles.
Is it so loud that u can’t hear my voice or is it just loud enough to be distracting? I only have a few videos under my belt so far and am still learning. Your feedback is appreciated and duly noted. 😊
Thank so much! Super well explained!! 🙏🏻🌷🍀

That is such an adorable scarf, super jealous
Thank you. Super easy to make!!
Thank u love this
love it
My hands are cramping just to watch but I think is a price I'm willing to lay, that's beautiful!
I love this so much 😍
Can I just use a big kniting needle . And what size (mm) do you recommend /is equivelent to a finger ?
For super chunky yarn, you typically want somewhere between size 11 and 17 needles, depending on how tight you want to loops to look.
Oops I spoke to soon, very cool!
So beautiful!! I really want to make one my question is how long did you make it? So that when you double it it fits nicely?! Thanks for this awesome tutorial xo

Leemariexo vorrei vederlo in italiano
Non sono sicuro di come farlo. Spero che guardarti le mani ti sia di aiuto, anche se le mie parole sono perse. Grazie per la visione! ♥ ️
Is it good for boys
Will boys like it?
Danke schön
Beautiful! But just looking the way you use your hand makes my hands hurt lol bc I can't really use my hands

Muito lindo.
Is this knitting without needles? I knit, and trying to figure out. I’m not a great knitter, toques, scarfs dish clothes ( mastered) but that’s it :)
Yep, that’s exactly what it is.. Knitting without a knitting needle. It’s very easy once you get the hang of it. Hope u give it a go.♥️

Mandy Thomas thank you for the advice great videos will there be more?
Oh yes. I have many more ideas for videos it’s just hard to find the time to hit record and edit. I’m actually editing a video for a DIY fall centerpiece. I hope to have it up in the next few days!
Awesome I'm sure it'll be awesome🤗

What brand of yarn did you use?
So cute
Thank you!
It says two skiens for this yard but I don’t see where you added the second one. Please explain. Thank You
I was thinking the same thing. I only seen the one skien. It didn't show adding anything???
I was looking for this answer too!
Oops. sorry about that. I simply tied a knot connecting the 2 skiens. The knot blends in pretty well so it's not seen.
Is this yarn super soft? Would love to know the softest yarns (picky about picky woolens ;) )
Cashmere wool is one of my favorites but can be pretty pricey. The yarn I use here is very nice, especially for the price! Also, look for yarn that is geared toward making baby blankets. So soft and usually very affordable. 😊

It’s just like knitting on needles then, why not with needles. This is tough plus yr hands r tied up fully.the other finger knitting is easy.
why you do not grab the needles is much easier than with just the finger, beside I think it hurts
Nah, doesn't hurt a bit and for me personally, it's easier than using the needles. I can see how some people might prefer them though.😊
wwwhhhhhyyyyy are my fingers short and stumpy
Harder than Math
Lol.. Not a whole lot of things harder than math in my opinion. haha. This really is pretty easy. Once you get the hang of it, you don’t even have to watch your hands work. It took several attempts to get it but now I make them while I’m watching TV.
She's doing something with the fingers that the loops are going on that's why it's difficult she's not showing that part..
She's showing everything she is doing. This is exactly the same as knitting with needles, so, if you have a basic understanding of stockinette stitch (only knitting, without purling), you shouldn't have any trouble with this. It's just using your fingers as the needles.
your hands look raw... nice scarf tho
I have something called Reynauds phenomenon. It's not painful but looks like it is.
Can't hear you?
Sorry about that..
Music is too loud...
Is it so loud that u can’t hear my voice or is it just loud enough to be distracting? I only have a few videos under my belt so far and am still learning. Your feedback is appreciated and duly noted. 😊
Not for me! Way too confusing!
If you are going to do stockinette why use your fingers and other instruments, just use a couple of needles!
