Manly Skills: Finger Knitting

My brother & his wife stopped by on Memorial Day.  Taught me & Sam how to finger knit.  David is wearing the brown scarf he knit while demonstrating how to do it.

Sam got the hang of it really quickly and has since made another blue scarf.  Relaxing, good physical therapy, comforting, and a tighter scarf than the arm knitting.

Start with a slip knot and a 2.5 foot tail, loop onto your right finger using up tail and pearl onto your left and keep going, without flipping work.  Easier to see in person.  Here is an arm knitting tutorial that matches how David taught us (except use fingers, instead of arms, and we only used one strand of yarn).
