Arm Knitting

Hi there.

You may be wondering where your "Arm knitting" article went. I had a quick look at it and decided that although arm knitting is a real thing there wasn't anything I could find written about it in reliable sources that would demonstrate notability or verify the content for an article. What I did was redirect the name "Arm knitting" to the article about Hand knitting.

Please don't be put off by this. This happens a lot when people new to Wikipedia make new articles. The trick is to learn what sort of subjects are valid for articles and what are not. I am sure you will get the hang of it. The links above should help.

Anyway, although arm knitting is not notable enough for its own article you could see if you can find a book or other reliable source that has covered it to some degree. If you can find that then you could add a sentence or two about it to the Hand knitting article. The Tools section already mentions that one can knit using fingers so that would be the place to add it.
