My friend, Maitri Libellule, makes freeform wearable art with her spool knitters and crochet hooks. She’s been making spectacular, huge wearable serpents. They’ve been getting bigger and bigger, so she’s needing bigger and bigger tools to make them.
So, we have made her a H U G E spool knitter:
It’s 9 inches across and 6 inches tall. It’s a whopper!
I am getting it painted before we peg it. It’s going to have 8 big big pegs on it. She handspins yarn that is layers and layers of fibers and it’s very very thick, so she needs big pegs.
Big big spool knitters like this are a challenge to make, but boy are they fun!
Next posting, I’ll show how I am decorating the sides of the supersize spool knitter!
