Childhood hobbies

Raining just about all day and the kids were at a loose end. Caroline had an inspiration and thought of French Knitting. Remember that, the cotton reel with pins in the end ? The only slight hitch was the cotton reels, I don't think I've seen a wooden cotton reel for over 10 years. The only thing for it was to make two cotton reels out of some scrap wood. A trip to the workshop, a bit of drilling, sanding and hammering and voila, two French Knitting kits.

Neither of us could fathom out how to do it, so a quick search on Google and here are the instructions for French Knitting.
