How to Arm Knit a Chunky Blanket
Arm knit, hand knit, finger knit, potato, potato. Whatever you want to call it, it's NOT knitting with needles, so throw those away. This is basically how to knit anything with huge yarn. A huge scarf. A huge blanket. Gloves? Socks? Go for it!
Keep in mind you can use any type of yarn for this, as long as it's thick.

How to Arm Knit an Infinity Scarf
I'm still on a knitting needle fast. It's 2019, who needs 'em? In this video I make good use of my leftover chunky yarn and make an infinity scarf with just arm knitting (or hand knitting, whatever you want to call it; knitting has never been a good place for the semantics-obsessed).
Anyway, to infinity and beyond with your infinity scarf! Also, do you have a better method of joining the two ends together than the shoddy method I use? Comment below!
