red and blue portuguese knitting pin

This pin is made with glas cut blue beads with a silicone red heart focal.  the hook is an aged look steam punk style hook and is base metal.It features a clip style fastener so that you don't have to worry about poking holes in your shirt. it can be clipped anywhere on your shirt including the collar, and can also be clipped onto a necklace cord if you want to wear it like a necklace.

This charming knitting pin is for people who knit the Portuguese style. With the Portuguese style you with knit with the yarn around your neck (which can sometimes irritate your neck) or by using a knitting pin. With the knitting pin you pin it up near your left shoulder and tension the yarn in the hook. I found this style of knitting due to an injury with my wrist where it hurt to much to knit English throwing style and I love this style of knitting so much better.

since you are using the pin as tension your hands stay on the needle which causes less hand movement which is easier on your hands. This style is very easy to learn, and you are also able to knit faster.
