Corking or spool knitting. Part of a proj I started... oh... probably 8 months ago now. The goal is to finish it, get some closure, tie up loose ends, follow through, see its backside. Know what I mean? Wouldn't that be gRRReat?... Oh yeah.
Okay. I'm doin' it.

Can't wait to see. I've done a few things corking but really want to do more. Waiting for some brilliant inspiration!!
ReplyDeleteAha, French knitting? We call it punnikken. Funny word he?
ReplyDeleteI actually dug out my old mushroom spool knitter the other day. My kids were fascinated. I found a way to make a bigger version for kids with a toilet paper roll and popscicle sticks on pinterest. I need to make some!
ReplyDeleteAtta girl! I need to do the same for so many reasons. Finish something!!
ReplyDeleteWhat are you making? I finally threw away the 15ish year old project I had started with bad yarn on a spool. Originally it was going to be a rug for my barbie house... Besides making a rug, what can be made? With nice yarn I could make something beautiful.
ReplyDeleteoh the works in progress...such pain! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm intrigued with yours!
I've been thinking in introducing french knitting to my little girl, but I need a good project... :D
