Finger Knitting Heart Ornament - Red Ted Art

In our house we LOVE LOVE LOVE to finger knit. Finger knitting is a great childhood craft, that can be done any place any time (great for long car journeys too!). Once you get the hang of it, it is really easy to do and there are lot of fun Finger Knitting Projects you can use it for. I also love Finger Knitting, as it helps concentration, pattern recognition and I find it has a calming effect on my kids. Today, we share some simple Finger Knitting Heart Ornaments.
