I Learned Spool Knitting!

I have always wanted to learn to spool knit. For those of you who do not know what spool knitting is, you can made cord by using a tube with nails on the top. You wrap the yarn through around the nails and lift the lower yarn over the higher piece of yarn. Confused? So was I for quite a while.

Well, today I decided to bite the bullet and give it a try. I purchased a lovely two-prong hand made by Noreen Crone Findlay. I took out the directions, a basic yarn and opened my mind. Wow! I did it! I took it a little further and pulled out some pretty eyelash yarn and cotton. So far, it is going well. I am very happy with it! When I finish the necklace, I will be sure to post it.

Noreen has great instructional videos on You Tube and her hand made spool knitters come with great step-by-step instructions as well.

I hope you will not wait as long as I did and give spool knitting a try. I promise you will not be disappointed!

    If you are enjoying spool knitting you should see all the new stuff you can knit on a loom. They make all gauges and sizes now. They are knitting. Socks are especially fun on a small gauge loom. There are so many groups now and so many patterns. I'm addicted can you tell? jpirkle (ravelry ID)
