YOur help needed please

I'm not sure if you might remember but my MIL had a stroke several months ago. Someone here posted an url to a site showing a 'knitting stick'. I wanted to print out the pic and info for my FIL. We were all talking a couple of weeks ago about this and thought that mom could try this as a form or therapy. She can't hold the needle but we thought she might be able to knit this way a bit. My pc is giving me grief right now and I can't access any of my bookmarks. Thanks group.

Norma, I must have missed that conversation. However when I googled "Knitting Stick" I came up with this site

They show a corking spool. It that what you were looking for. You can get those in yarn stores. I have bought a very nice one for my grand daughter. It is in the shape of a bubble bee. Made by Crafting Essentials. H.A. Kidd and company limited They call it a French knitting Bee. I paid $5 for it.

Thanks everyone! Got what I was after. I don't know what happened to my Netscape Browser, but I've lost all of the darned bookmarks. I think it might be time to take the puter in for a service.

We usually call that a knitting dolly over here, just get a cotton reel, an old wooden one, and put four nails in the top of it...

Knitting dollies are one form. But larger ones can be used to knit socks, larger ones can be used to knit hats and sleeves, and still larger ones can be used to knit the body- pretty much all with one hand. Straight frames (rakes) can be used to knit rugs that are much too large to knit on needles.

thanks everyone for your help. I am going to wait and see what mom thinks of the knitting stick, and if she is interested in trying.
