Millennial Craft-Makers Embrace Arm Knitting
When it comes to knitting, Lydia Schoenbein thought she had seen it all. The 73-year-old retired nursing-home supervisor from Morton, Ill., learned to knit and crochet when she was growing up in Germany and can make everything from socks and shawls to cable-knit sweaters.
So when her 22-year-old granddaughter, Carly Hill, visited and showed off her own creation—a crude-looking, ropelike cream scarf—"I was flabbergasted, to tell you the truth," recalls Ms. Schoenbein. The accessory hadn't exactly been handmade. It was the product of a new cultural yarn: arm knitting.
An increasingly popular activity among younger do-it-yourself enthusiasts, arm knitting uses the forearms in lieu of knitting needles.
