Arm Knitting REMIX!!!

I tried this arm knitting craft again.  This looks better than the first attempt. I think I will use one skein next time instead of 2.  The yarn is "chunky" and is 10% wool. It's nice and soft and cuddly. This is a little heavy!! It will keep me warm next Winter!!

Yarn Used (From Joann): $14.99 each 10% Wool & 90% Acrylic
Red Heart Irresistible Yarn Here Color: Enchanting

I'm giving these incredibly beautiful scissors (I have never seen anything like them, have you?) 4 stars because they're beautiful and sharp.  They cut through fabric like a hot knife cuts through butter.  #ItsLikeButtaBaby

Arm Knitting Anyone!? ***SIGH***

I'm definately NOT a crocheter or knitter.  Tried both in the past and could not just grasp it.  My Granny was a knitter and one of my Great Aunts was a crocheter.  They made great big, beautiful afghans and quilts, baby blankets, christmas decorations and the list goes on and on!!  I will try this, but I have a feeling I'll be sticking to sewing!!

I will keep trying this arm knitting thing until I can get it down!!
