It's remind me of the knitting spool and the Inch-Worm Knitting Spools that we use as a kids. But I never got to do any knitting as a kid. Started a few year ago and now I like to knit on a loom. This would be good around a coffee cup. I'm thinking about doing some for christmas gifts. I love this idea!

But I do have internet connection..... thanks for your idea on DIY. Ithink, by using things liek sosatie-sticks (or tooth picks) bought from grocery store and space them a bit closer to each other, would make using thinner yarn possible. But I like the coupling you used. Seem to be very solid. Tis loom knitting remind me a lot on the French Knittin we did as kids... just on a bigger scale.

I was just thinking about the 'spool-knitting" tecnique I learned as a kid, using wooden spools. But I wanted to make a larger one to make a cover for a cane. I coouldn't figure out what to use to make a knitter with a larger hole. Thank you for the great idea.I just have to measure the cane's diameter and find something rhar size. I can;t wait to try it.

Search using that term and you'll find all kinds of patterns and such. You can even make sweaters and afghans with the largest. I use the child size one to make hats for kids in the hospitals locally. The actual spools you buy in craft stores to do this are called Knifty Knitters.

But as I remember it, once I wrapped the yarn around each "nail" the first time, I then didn't make another loop areound the nail but instead just laid the yarn over and across the loop already on the nail and then caught the first stitch and drew it up and over what would be the new one. I didn't have two sets of wrapped stitches on the needle at any time. What would be the difference? The way I learned is very different from the instructions in the large plastic looms.
