[Nfb-krafters-korner] Information needed for French or SpoolKnitting

[Dorothea Martin]

Hello, Henry,
Thanks for your suggestion about the Clover Wonder Knitter. French 
knitting, also known as spool knitting, is loom knitting on a spool, 
just like the wooden spools of thread with four nails in them. The 
spool is generally used for knitting a round tube, such as a cord, and 
may have from 3 to 6 pins on it. Some of them have meter pins, others 
have knobs, while others have prongs or hooks. That's why I asked for 
suggestions as to the good ones. I used an old wooden spool for thread 
that my father pounded four nails into some sixty years ago but can't 
remember how I did it.I plan to do spool knitting this summer and want 
something more hygienic than those nails which will get rusty in the 
summer humidity.
