As a child used to create the cords with a sewing cotton reel with 4 small nails in the top. Used to spend hours making them lol

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Same with me. The automatic thing is too easy eh! haha

[@pattiripley7599]

My grandfather made the wooden spool knitters and others with piece of wood and nails 55+ yrs ago. We loved them as kids

This is the best video I've found for using this knitting machine.

I sometimes get a lot of 1 or 2 weight yarns in mystery boxes that I don't like using. This would be great to make them thicker and use the cords for crocheting a smaller project.

I was thinking the same!

Cool tool, I have the old fashion manual tool. Mickey, I kept waiting for you to say “Daddy’s working!”

[@sherrymichaels7387]

Now I need to go buy one of those! Wonder if it would make fun shoe laces?

[@susanwhalen1034]

It seems so unbelievanle that there is a machine now. I had a wooden thread spool and four nails and a small crochet hook when I was a kid.

[@amandah4834]

Me too Susan 😂

[@joettaqueen-ellenwood7711]

When I was in elementary school, I made one out of an old wooden thread spool and nails. Bavk then, we used a small crochet hook to manipulate the yarn. The results were the same, but the speed was so slow. 🙂

I'm glad I found this video. I have one but didn't know how to get started.

[@ChrisTina-ln4yk]

This is great! I've been wanting to make cord for bags that I've crocheted. I think this would be a nice *fast* way of doing it

[@karenh2890]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@diannefitzmaurice9813]

They don't work for long and just don't last long . Plastic junk really . 3 broke before I gave up and now use my circular sock machine that is much more durable. It the long run even crocheted or knit cords by hand is a much more viable.

[@ch784]

Isn’t that a cool little tool. 👍

[@wendypenrod2559]

Just got one of these. It’s not working right. It keeps messing up or dropping stitches. What am I doing wrong?

[@claudiadiaz9272]

Where can I buy this marvel?

[@monicawilson2303]

What am I missing? What is the purpose of this?

[@sharleenhill5205]

You can make rugs out of it

[@wendylcm7643]

You can make icord with it which makes neat trims

[@MyzMyzterious32]

@@sharleenhill5205 how?

[@MyzMyzterious32]

Wondering same besides bracelets etc. I have the old manual style from 40 years ago. My granddaughter is 5 and will love this

[@sharleenhill5205]

​@MyzMyzterious32 I'm not sure on that. My mom did that part when I was a kid.

[@saragriffin3682]

Mikey do you have a yarn winder, if so what kind and what size?

[@macmahon_matt]

I have that from Amazon

[@robertaatkeson4671]

Does this turn the opposite way for lefties?

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

I'm unsure. You'll have to try it.

[@kaybaxter1070]

The smallest little knitting machine I've ever seen I have three different sizes but nothing that small
