Whenever I'm working on a piece, and the yarn ball has a lot of extra yarn that might tangle, I figured out that I could just finger knit the pile of yarn so that it'll keep together in a neat and organized pile. It's a lot easier to manage the yarn this way. And then I just unravel the finger knit yarn, and it goes right into the piece I'm working on. It's very convenient!

Make sure you start where the yarn ball is, and finger knit until you reach the tail end of the yarn, so that you can unravel it afterwards for your piece. If you do it the other way around, you can't unravel the yarn!

Why am I crying literally whenever I get so frustrated that I can’t do I get so emotional ✋😟

Wow you did a great job of telling us not to cut off our circulation

Who else tried this but got their fingers stuck in yarn
Edit: I finally learned how to knit after stress over getting stuck in yarn mess and crochet was a little hard to do
Ok fine I gave up then after a day I tried and tried….

I know a lot of people are reading the comments to see if it works
And it works!

Tip: try to make sure on each finger the thread or whatever you are using is not sliding off. when i first learned to finger knit it kept sliding up and/or off which ruined my peice! keep practicing you’ll get a hang of it

ALSO- if you need to stop just clip it at the end and start the next time when ur ready, and start a new peice. then, when u finish that 1 off, tie that one to the other u had made before.

[chcopuddin]

As a 12 year old who came here and the first two comments I saw were a 10 and 11 year old saying how they did it and how proud they are, I’m feeling good man

I remember my elementary school art teacher teaching me how to do this and I definitely had a finger knitting phase

[yanfernandezclubb]

I’m eight years old and thank you for finally someone that has some thin yarn for me to do this. It’s pretty hard but now I get the hang of it. The only thing that happens is with the blood support that my finger has.

This is so fun and easy. I knew how to finger knit before I saw the video, but still it is so 🤩 and fun. It works better with thick string. Also, I competed with my friend one to see who could make the longest one, so definitely try that.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

[Mouse]

okay, that’s actually very useful and smart
