knitting board? question

Apr 08, 2005 1 Replies

An old knitting board that had four parts: Fleisher's brand, apparently.



one part with lots of needles slightly curved at the ends (not true hooks) one part with the same number of needles but they had eyelets at the ends instead of points two small pieces that seem to fit on, but I'm not sure how



None of them had holes or bolts to fasten them together. No clamps either. The picture only showed a woman holding the pieces; no information on how to use it.



How the heck would you use something like that?

Tamar,

There is a Dutch website from Handwerken Zonder Grenzen, they have a mailorder books store. There is a very good book there on how to use these knitting boards. If I am not mistaken it is a European idea. I was going to buy this book, because there are so many people in our Guild interested in knitting on a board. Here is there website

On their main page click on "voor nabestellingen en diverse handwerkproducten" On the next page, click in the left side bar on "Boeken" Scrole all the way down this book list (lots of English titles as well) and you will find the book on "Breien op een brei raam" at the bottom of this list on the right hand side. It is indeed in Dutch, but I am sure that the pictures are very good and may be helpful. Mirjam has used these knitting frames as well, and she may be able to help you as well. They are sophisticated corking divices.

Good luck with it

Els
