For French Knitting you need:
-Wool or acrylic Yarn
-French knitting spool. Which has been known to be hand made from a cotton real and four nails.
-a stitch lifter, much like a short knitting needle.
To buy a French Knitting Kit it will only cost around $12. Which gives you everything you need except wool, which you can buy for approximately $3 a bundle. It is a nice and cheap activity, which is very necessary!
It is a socially acceptable activity, by this i mean i can take my knitting anywhere and do it without being inappropriate. I can do this activity in the lounge with my flatmates, in the sun outside, in the library while listening to lectures online, in a sunny cafe in town or on a bus or plane.
I don't need any extra space to participate in this activity than my body usually takes up. French Knitting is also very easy to pick up and put down without dropping or loosiung any stitches. this means i can do my knitting around other activities and pick it up and put down as i please.
Hi Rachael,
ReplyDeleteYour blog is very enjoyable to read, i had never heard of french knitting before but you make it sound very interesting and a great way to fill in any spare time. Perhaps linking this post to a story would have been interesting but other than that your blog is really good and such an easy read :)
good work
