Anyone who has ever dabbled in the art of French knitting will tell you that the problem is not learning how to do the knitting itself - it's fun and easy, and a great introduction to yarn crafts for young children. No, the big problem is knowing what to do with it afterwards. French knitting creates a long, long knitted tube. You can curl it round and sew it up to make a place mat or coaster, but that's hardly inspiring stuff for a young French knitter. I used to make worm cosies, which were just colourful lengths of tube. Sadly, I could never pursuade a real worm to use one. A 1979 edition of Penny comic comes up with this inspired idea of making a French Knitting purse - a really keen French knitter could make a momentously long tube and create a shoulder bag. Now that's something a bit more exciting than a coaster, especially if you decorated it with beads and sequins, or buttons, or... If you've never tried French Knitting, Penny also provides easy to follow instructions, below: Traditionally, French Knitting "dollies" or "knitting nancies" were made out of old wooden cotton reels with four nails hammered into them. These days, cotton reels are made out of plastic, so this little bit of fun has been taken away from us by our society's obsession with petrochemicals. Great. There's no need to go out and buy an expensive ready made French Knitting dolly, though. There are wonderful ways to make a knitting dolly out of Smartie tubes, toilet rolls, or an old table leg. Visit www.waynesthisandthat.com, www.allfreecrafts.com and www.how-to-knit-guide.com for instructions and inspiration. You may be able to find a second-hand wooden cotton reel, or try drilling a hole through the middle of a small length of thick wooden dowelling from a hardwear shop. Make your own recycled knitting nancy and let me know how you get on...

Hallo Ladies, vielen, lieben Dank für eure netten Kommentare zu meinem letzten post. Ich freue mich sehr, das euch das Rezept so gefallen hat. Heute habe ich leider kein neues Rezept für euch. Auch kein DIY oder so... Heute gibt's mal nur was zum angucken! Beim letzten Schweden-Urlaub hatte ich im Panduro-Outlett einige schöne Tildastoffe und anderes Nähzubehör gekauft. Im Dezember wollte ich eigentlich mit einem Stand auf einem Kunsthandwerkmarkt teilnehmen. Die Idee kam meiner Freundin LENA, die praktisch schon TILDA selbst ist, weil sie soviel näht. Angefangen von Tildapuppen, über Taschen, bis hin zu kleinen Tilda-Wickel-Armbändern. Wenn ich mich bis dahin nicht ranhalte, wird es wohl nix. Aber es ist ja noch ein wenig Zeit bis zum Dezember, also gebe ich Vollgas.*g* (Wenn ihr jetzt mein Schlafzimmer sehen könntet- zum Glück, könnt ihr's nicht! *lach* Dort steht mittlerweile ein Tapeziertisch auf dem alles ausgebreitet ist. Drum herum liegen Stoffe usw. herum. Das reinste Chaos...) Aber genug gesabbelt, ich zeige euch mal ein paar meiner Taschen: Kleine Kosmetiktasche mit kleiner Häkelborte Kulturtasche Ich hatte nach einer Alternative zu Druckknöpfen, Reißverschlüssen usw. gesucht. Die dran zunähen, gehört auch nicht gerade zu meinen Lieblings-Aufgaben.*g* Sieht doch niedlich aus, oder? Aus dem Rest Bändchen habe ich noch eine Rose gedreht. Diese kleine Kosmetiktasche ist eus einem Kreis genäht Einfaches Täschchen mit Tilda-Knopf Ja, was soll ich ich sagen... Hier wollte ich mal etwas anderes versuchen. Großer Aufwand, das war's aber auch. Ich werd's wohl nicht wieder machen, jedenfalls nicht für eine Tasche! Doch, ich zeig' sie euch trotzdem, als abschreckendes Beispiel, so zusagen.*g* Diese, gefällt mir persönlich am besten... So, nun habt ihr's fast geschafft, nur noch diese große Kosmetiktasche. Foto: PINTEREST Ich hoffe, es hat euch ein klitze-kleines bißchen gefallen... Ganz, ganz liebe Grüße eure CREATINA
