Part of knitting is managing the tension you establish for your style of knitting.


Try wrapping your yarn around your yarn finger once or twice, in order to establish a knitting tension -- the slack or lack of it -- that you want. (Your yarn finger is on the hand that holds the needles, while you knit actively with the needle in the other hand.)

How do you arm knit?

Michaels.com and the blogger pinkwhen.com have videos that helped me learn how to arm knit. As a tip, your "working yarn" (the yarn pulled from the yarn bundle) is the yarn thread that you wrap around your thumb and the tail of your yarn is the yarn thread that goes over your wrist (this will make sense if you watch the videos). You will need at least 2 separate balls of thick yarn (I used a 6oz weight) but I actually wondering myself if 5oz is chunky enough. This is due to the loose nature of the knit because your arms and hands are replacing what would normally be the needle(s) in traditional knitting.


If I cast on 5 stitches what does knit 3 yarn over knit 2 to 6 stitches mean I understand yarn over but not 2-6?
