Use your arms and hands as needles to knit bold and beautiful creations
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.

A course by Miriam (Mizz) Evans
Miriam ‘Mizz’ Evans crafts all sorts of giant knit creations from her home in Leeds, UK. Her passion for knitting was born out of an accident. While training for the London Marathon, she slipped and broke her leg. Recovering at home, she spent her days exploring arm knitting. Eventually, she amassed a social media following. Through her brand, Mizzknits, Miriam started running workshops and selling her work online. Her pieces have appeared on the pages of Yorkshire Life, Hello, Real Homes, and many more.
