The one where I knitted on a loom

Do you remember the french knitting gadgets we had as kids, or knitting Nancys?


I bought a 21st century version of it as a gadget for Kids' Crafty church . . . but thought I ought to learn how to drive it before I introduced it to the kids


Rather addictive!!!!  (especially for someone who cant knit!), it grows quite quickly

My monster family has grown too!


I'm now off to a baby shower - mum-to-be wants to decorate baby clothes with fabric pens, and wants guests to make a baby quilt; she doesn't know that I've made three already (they are adopting three sisters, age 1, 2 and 3) but I'm more than happy to help cut and sew another one this afternoon!

  2. wow French knitting has moved on from the little wooden cotton reels, looks more complicated though! Monsters coming along well enjoy the baby quilt session that is a handful 3 little girls what wonderful news that the sisters are beng adopted together and not being split up

  3. I forget what we called those looms - I don't even remember if I had a storebought one, or if it was handmade (something tells me I may have gotten one for a Christmas gift, but I'm not sure), but I made a TON of clothes for my Barbie dolls - that would have been 45ish years ago - YIKES, lol! I have different size looms upstairs in my closet, purchased on Amazon when I've seen awesome crafts online, but I haven't tried them out. I keep meaning to do them as a winter project, when it's cold and when handling the yarn will be snuggly, but I haven't done it yet. I'd love to try something like a scarf with the larger loom :D
