More Extreme Knitting -- Finger Knitting that is!


I remember Karen K. taught me to finger knit in 2nd grade. We used string and spent several days at recess working on long knitted tubes. I didn't really know that it was knitting -- in fact, I did not connect it to the "real" knitting I learned only 3 years later until I was an adult.

WCAX.COM Local Vermont News reports this week that the Monkton Elementary School's first and second grade classes created a 45 pound ball of finger knitting which totaled over 5 miles of knitting.

Multi-strand knitting at the extreme

One of Rachel John's beautiful rugs

Odd and beautiful at the same time, this is one video I must share Rachel John, Extreme Knitting, 1000 Strand Knit. Rachel John also has a website where she sells commissioned art rugs, advertises her classes in extreme knitting and advertises her book, BIG Stitch Knitting.
