An Arm Knit Blanket

Hi everyone! This week's post features an arm knit knit blanket I experimented with a few weeks prior. I have always wanted to try arm knitting, at least once, so I decided to make a blanket. It was an interesting experience, though I'm not entirely sure if I would do it again. Here are some of the pros and cons found:

Pros

  • Arm knitting is relaxing.
  • Arm knit items can be a cute decor item if done well.
  • The technique is relatively simple, though not necessary for new beginners.
  • Projects do not take long to complete.

Cons

  • Arm knitting roving is expensive.
  • Maintenance for arm knit items is rather tedious.
  • Arm knitting roving needs to be prepped before using.
  • Lint and fraying are still somewhat problematic even if the blanket is felted.
The blanket I made did not turn out as well as I had hoped. It frays quite a lot, and trying to maintain it has been a bit of a burden (the pictures here are from right after I completed the blanket). For the kit price it is definitely disappointing. For future blankets I will probably stay with classic knitting and crochet techniques.
