Many people remember knitting using a knitting spool when they were smaller. The round, wooden block still looks the same, with a hole down the middle and nails or pegs around the outside, and what' s more, knitting spools are back in fashion. Craft stores offer knitting spools in the yarn section, and you can find plenty of the spools online as well.
Popularity has expanded the uses and projects for that long, colourful cord. There are plenty of patterns available for knitting spool projects, and different sizes of spools that make whipping up cord projects easy and fun. Not only that, knitting spools are perfect for people on the go, small enough to tuck into your purse or backpack and simple enough to pull out and get in a few quick stitches while waiting at appointments or riding a commuter train. What' s more, studies have shown that knitting in general is a task that relaxes the brain and provides a sense of overall calmness.

The basics of knitting using a knitting spool involve winding yarn around the pegs and passing it over the heads of the nails to form a cord that extends down the middle. To start, feed the chosen yarn down the center of your spool, from top to bottom, leaving a bit hanging. Casting on your first stitches is easy, as you take the top of your yarn and wind it around a peg or nail in a counter-clockwise direction. Wind the yarn just once, and move to the next peg to repeat the winding process. Don' t pull your yarn too tight, or you' ll have difficulty knitting with your knitting spool.

When each peg has yarn wound around it, circle the outside of the knitting spool pegs with the yarn. This will be the yarn you work with and will need to pass over the heads of the pegs to create stitches. You can pass the yarn over the pegs using a small stick or a knitting needle, picking up the wound yarn from the outside and looping it over to the inside. Always work in a counter-clockwise direction. Slowly, you' ll create a cord that will feed itself down the middle of your knitting spool. If you' re confused about how to knit, a quick internet search will bring up diagrams and images that show you exactly how to use your knitting spool to make learning a breeze.Refinishing your hardwood floors yourself can be time consuming and a bit scary at first but well worth it in the long run.

Once your cord is the length you want, cut the yarn and feed it through each loop, then pull tight to cast off. You' ll be able to sew your cord into various items such as hot pads or hats, or you can use your cording as appliqués. When you need to sew the cord together, use a simple overstitch with a needle and thread.
