I had never seen anyone knitting and could not fathom what it meant to "turn" the knitting at the end of the row, so I knit backwards and forwards like a typewriter (sort of). The result was... interesting.

My 11 yr. old niece makes pretty scarves with this technique and no needles or hooks are required. All you need is yarn and your fingers. Remember the spool-knitting you may have done as a child? What you produced was a long, rather tightly-knit "chain" that could be sewn into a circle to make a chair pad or rug for Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00134662598770693987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19341251.post-41370403622882910102010-11-22T07:11:59.736-05:002010-11-22T07:11:59.736-05:00Good for you showing her the way.

If you just keep doing row after row of chaining, you get Bosnian Crochet or Shepherd's Knitting, both of which are historical craft forms in their own right. If it's loose and open, fine, have you seen the scarves they're offering lately?=Tamarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19341251.post-69263050348959912692010-11-21T18:41:04.193-05:002010-11-21T18:41:04.193-05:00Hmmm...it sounds to me like Spunky Girl created a ...Hmmm...it sounds to me like Spunky Girl created a new craft form and you were its inspiration.
