Do you remember French knitting? Or maybe you remember it as pool knitting using a spool tool?
I was making the icords for the Knitted Project Twiddles twirl flower and remembered how we use to French knit. I discovered a ‘4 pin knitting dolly’ in a local craft shop and decided to give it a go. Once upon a time we would have made the tool from an old wooden cotton reel and hammered in small nails.
When I have enough icords I will fold them in half, thread a needle and draw through the middle of each one. I wind the thread around the middle tightly and then secure the project twiddle twirl flower to the twiddle base.
Such fun to make for a change!
Happy creating!
