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
http://www.holz-toys.co.uk/ShowDetails.asp?id=1151

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.
