Periodically I share resources that you may like to add to your library. This is one I purchased to use with one of our summer fundraisers.

What can I make with this ball of yarn? Finger Knitting Fun is the answer! So quick and simple, and a perfect activity for children – learning how to knit with your fingers is the best way to start crafting without cumbersome needles! All you need is some yarn and your hands to create modern and sophisticated knitted strands that you can use in any project around the house or everyday fashion.
From leather wristbands and fringe necklaces to garlands, pillows, and yarn bombing, Finger Knitting Fun includes illustrated, step-by-step instructions for 28 projects that use yarn and other exciting materials such as paracord, torn up T-shirts, and more.
My Review
At one of our Maker Mania days this past summer we had a finger knitting station. I had purchased this book for the kiddos to use for inspiration. There are few projects in the book that they could complete, unfortunately the projects took longer than the time we had and still give them time to visit the other stations. Finger knitting is a lot of fun for the kids and the projects in this book are ones kids can complete, some may require a little adult help. I will be adding this book to our school library and may place it in my Maker Space with some yarn.
