Knit With Your Arms – Mini-Workshop

April 27, 2016 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

If you’re looking for an awesome DIY to do in 30-40 minutes that can actually make for a decent gift, you should stop by to learn how to knit with your arms!

The Hive and Wellness Peers are coming together to teach you how to knit a scarf using your arms alone (well, and some yarn….) It’ll take about two hours to learn, but once you get the hang of it you can make scarfs in under 30-40 minutes!

Everyone is welcome to join the session!

We will provide yarn for the first 12 people to show up!

PLEASE: do not be late. Once you start knitting with your hands you can’t take it off, and it will be difficult to help late arrivals catch up.

**If yarn is easily affordable for you we prefer that you bring your own yarn instead of counting on our yarn.

You will need 2 skeins (at least 80 yards each) of chunkybulkythick yarn (or 4 skeins of 40 yd). They should be the same color unless you want to try out a funky color combo 🙂

You can get yarn at Michaels, or alternatively, order it online.
(It’d be smart to partner up with others if you’re ordering online, to reduce shipping costs + environmental impact)
