My last posting was about some spool knitters that I am very fond of.
I’ve just become acquainted with some wonderful new spool knitters:Crystalite French Knitters from Susan Bates. They’re 4 and 6 peg spool knitters and are very sturdy.
I really like them! They’re solidly made and are very nice to work with.
One of the things […]
About 10 years ago, I was thrilled to bits to see a very special spool knitter on eBay. I have always loved spool knitting, but until then, hadn’t seen a spool knitter that looked like a doll.

What on earth does Jane Austen have to do with Panda Bears?
Here’s the scoop - I have been working on a new Jane Austen spool knitter for weeks now.
It really hasn’t gone well. I have drawn the face at least 7 times, and each time, I have ended up sanding it off the spool knitter. […]
One of the most common ‘FAQ’s’ that I receive is:
Q: What can I spool knit with kids? (or my 8 year old or 7 year old etc)

Of course, if you want to make a thick cord, you can’t do it with a spool knitter that has a […]

At some point, I am actually going to get to live with one of them. But for now, they keep getting adopted and flying […]

When I was designing and making this Worry Doll:
I started out by basing my measurements on another little doll that I made a few years ago:
and I ended up transforming her, too.
So, she ended up like this:
I figured that she’s such a little cutie that I should probably upload a tutorial on how to […]
For the last week, this Jane Austen spool knitter has been sitting on my desk, unpainted.
I have been waiting for the perfect moment to start drawing the image on it.
All of a sudden, today it just seemed like the right time to draw her…. so here she is!
