Miriam Evans takes knitting to truly epic proportions. She uses giant-sized yarn to weave bold and colorful creations using her arms as needles —from blankets to festive decorations. Miriam Evans came across this particular form of knitting by chance while recovering from a leg injury, and has since turned her passion into a brand, Mizzknits. She has gained a hefty social media following and has appeared on the pages of Yorkshire Life Magazine, Hello, Real Homes, and many more.

In this online course, learn the basics of giant knitting using just your hands and arms as tools. Miriam teaches you how to cast on stitches, how to knit, purl, cast off and finish. Create unique, beautiful, and impactful pieces in just one session!
