Here are a few ideas of things to do with fingerknitting!
Why not make a paper basket ( the base is a circle, cut from a rainbow painted piece of paper. 4 cuts are made on the diagonal and a hole punch makes the holes for the ribbon ties and handle) It is perfect for a gift bag for a party or an easter egg hunt? They are pretty sturdy and kids like them too!
My friend Angie and her daughter Tigh once gave Henri this little basket filled with a gorgeous pink quartz crystal that she still has.
The handmade fingerknitted box token was an extra treat.
This is one I made. It is a bit deeper and held magic stones for a kindy game.
I like this basket as it can hang on a wall and display quirky treasures. It also fits the wrist of a child. Years ago, a group of children made one each and we collected spring flowers and native seedpods for a small posy.
Happy fingerknitting!

Cute little finger knitting ideas Amber! I remember when my boys learnt how to finger knit (in kindy). There was finger knitting all over the house, like spiderwebs ... sweet memories. x
Fingerknitted ropes all over our house too. They can become anything from horsey reigns, to elaborate ties, to a dolls wrap dress. The perfect open ended toy!
I know! Fingerknitting is king. And boys love it more than girls!!
