1st finger knitting (weaving) projects using all ten fingers!! - scarves

[Eliea]

I think you can make those little potholder thingies with a piece of cardboard. My grandma is very thrifty and I know she's made several as well as those "butterfly" weaving looms.
Love the concept with 10 fingers. I never would have thought of that. They're so pretty! I love the "lacy" look. Very elegant. How long did they take to make when using both hands? I'm thinking it might be a great project for christmas.

Eliea, like I mentioned above, we learned one-handed from the tute, played around with it for awhile and completed both 10-finger scarves in the same night.  One scarf probably took a couple hours cuz I just learned.  With practice, I could get it done in one hour easy.

Oh so sorry! I totally skimmed the post so I didn't read that part.( and I was just sipping my coffee) lol. Thanks for clarifying for me.

Pretty spiffy, I was going to learn how to crochet but this is waaaaay easier and not as time consuming. Thanks! (I watched billions of tutes on youtube I still don't get how to crochet I just can't make it work.)

I know how you feel I just recently printed off some info and then it made sense good luck.


And I'm so going to try this as soon as I get some yarn.

Please post pics/links here if you do try finger weaving. 

I'm trying crochet, too.  Mine is currently too tight and uneven.  I can't seem to figure out where to add the second row to, either.  Keeps twisting and looks really messy.

For learning to crochet I highly recomend trying to find a picture tutorial for each step. I'd recomend about.com as they have the pictures showing a regualr yarn and big hook so it's easy to see how to do everything!

The tutorial that I found that made the most sense to e I got from the Lion brand yarn site. They also have a bunch of free patterns for knitting and crocheting. Here let me see if I can find the links http://www.lionbrand.com/cgi-bin/faq-search.cgi?store=/stores/eyarn&learnToCrochet=1 I also watched a tonne of videos on YouTube. Hope that helps.
