I was given a Knitting Nancy as a child back in the 80s and I still have and use it to this day. I’ve never heard anyone else use the name until now though so have just referred to it as French Knitting. Very to happy to see Nancy finally getting the credit she deserves!
Thank you for sharing! In german it’s called "Strickliesl", I have learned it as a child and loved it! But I have never done it again because I startet knitting and crocheting!😂 Maybe it’s time for a revival! ❤
Very often I think that my Iphone can read my thoughts: just yesterday evening I was in trouble because I could not remember how to use the same device you show (not a pretty wooden doll but a simple wooden spool with four tiny nails). And now I have find your video explaining it: you save me !! Thank you very much, you are great !! I am going to do legs and tail of a small crochet toy for my cat, and perhaps I will do also a new crocheted octopus. Bye !👌🐈🐙
Brings back memories of me sitting with my grandma when I was little. BUT… this looks and sounds like the dentist picking my teeth! YIKES! Trigger warning for metal sounds. 😁
Hi yes it’s metal pegs on it and I used a metal hook. Plastic may be better. I do have a plastic knitting as well so I’ll do a video on that in the next few days x
I have one too. The cords come out slightly differently on them I think. I have found that if you don’t have a weight on the mechanised one you can sometimes lose the stitches. I always crank slowly 😂
Hi. With the icords you can make necklaces, bracelets, shoe laces, lanyards, hair ties etc. you could braid lengths together and make them into a skinny scarf ☺️
Thinking about materials useful for a home made Knitting Nancy, I noticed that K.N. is very similar to wooden handles of skipping rope. So, if someone has an old skipping rope can add to the handles some little nail and eventually paint and decorate these new devices (obviously after taking off the old rope).🧵🧶
@@tanglesandties Also the inner roller of food film - or that of kitchen paper - is suitable: smaller diameter but stronger material. Also a piece of cane can work, perhaps. 😊
