French Knitting

[xstitcher]

I would love to hear of uses for the lengths of round wool or cotton that French knitting produces.

I have only found one.....a neckband to keep my embroidery scissors on

years ago the children used to roll them round and round the table like a snail shell, sew them together and make table mats.
I have seen hats made the same sort of way,
or you could glue it to a jam jar or cut down pringles pot etc and make a fancy pen pot.

^ round and round, flat on the table ^

My sister makes them into very funky corsages. They're absolutely lovely.

They can be useful if you are knitting toys as they can be used for arms, legs, tails etc...
