| I used to French knit when I was younger. My mum would get an unused Wooden Cotton reel and bang four nails into it. She would then get some wool, start me off and away I would go. It would seem to take ages to do as I found it hard to get the needle down between the wool and nail. I am not sure what I was trying to knit but I would just carry on until one day I would be bored of it. The other week my mum bought me a French knitting dolly (as they are called), she started me off and away I went. Within an hour or so I had this long snake of knitted wool. Knitting dollies are made so much easier these days. I took it off the dolly and wound it around into a circle and there we go - one coffee coaster!Do you French knit? What do you make with your snake of knitting? How do you change colours? I would like to know what else I could make, any ideas? |
