[Nfb-krafters-korner] Finger knitting

[Denise Shaible]

this sounds interesting.  How do you do it?  I'd like to know.  Could it be 
used for baby or child items?  Just wondering.

Regards,

Denise

Hi Heather,
My Grand Daughter's fourth grade teacher did finger knitting with the class 
on days they had to stay in on recess. She also taught them to knit over a 
pair of flip flops. Taylor made over a hundred dollars that summer making 
flip flops with fuzzy yarn on them.

I think it is a good plan. Just make the scarves short and narrow.
