I bought this product because the staff at Michaels said it was an easy way to knit without using knitting needles. I bought alot of wool to make scarves for a charity fundraiser..... I cant use knitting needles because of the arthritis in my hands so thought this would be a much better way of doing it. Well its more difficult than I thought and not easier than knitting with the needles. I suppose for a kid it might be easy.... I finished 1 scarf and started a second one and its still sitting on my desk and has been there since last fall. Some day I may finish it, but I dont recommend this product if your looking for an easy way of knitting.
