Mushroom French Spool Knitters


It's been quite a while since Dave made any of his mushroom shaped French spool knitters. These three beauties were recently listed in our Grizzly Mountain Arts Etsy shop. From left to right the woods used were, cherry, Oregon myrtlewood and holly/East Indian rosewood. As always the matching loop lifters are included with the spool knitters.

Oregon Myrtlewood and Poplar Mushroom French Spool Knitters with Pyrography and Loop Lifters


These beautiful mushroom French spool knitters were crafted by Dave from Oregon myrtlewood and poplar. He has inset brass pins into the top of each.  Dave has accented these spool knitters with pyrography (burn etching). The matching loop lifter was crafted from birch and brass.

Handcrafted Mushroom French Spool Knitter


Here’s a neat little novelty spool knitter! Dave has handcrafted this 4 inch tall spool knitter using spalted maple for the mushroom cap and cedar for the barrel with burn etched mushrooms around the base. The companion needle is made from a joining of olive wood, walnut and mesquite. The four knitting pins are solid brass which will not rust. This unique set has been initialed and dated by Dave.

More photos of this spool knitter can be found at the Ebay auction and at Flickr.com.
