Oh yes wool wound around two bits of card. I did it quite recently actually - giant size using rafia to make cheerleader style pom poms for my friend's daughters.
Is french knitting the one with 4 nails in a cotton reel? Yes I had four nails in a cotton reel too. Still never made anything worth looking at. Night all, x Sorry about this smilie, cannot seem to edit it out

Morning all peeps!! I guess four nails in a cotton reel would do the job....only you would need a wooden one which were being phased out even when I was a lass. The French knitting was only good for mats and coasters when spiralled and sewn together...otherwise it was useless

Welcome back! Tut, mixing with undesireables again
I will now stick my fingers in my ears while you and twass have your viking chat. i'm guessing t'ai chi is provocative in and of itself. It was banned under Mao in China with many of the masters being sent to labour camps as being a practitioner was regarded as being an Anarchist *sings PiL song* luckily many of them escaped to Taiwan so the teachings didn't die out.Thank you for my passionfruit sorbet though ![]() i tried getting some myself but there were none left only strawberry ![]() Are you all christmased up? We have flood warnings here and the river is very high and flooding all the neighbouring fields *eek* |
