Hi Els,

I'm intrigued by the idea of making "little balls on double pointed knitting
needles" - were you joking, or is this doable (and likely one of those
things that "real" knitters seem to take for granted, while I continue to be
amazed grin)

I was so intrigued, by the talk about the hand cranked corker......(looks
like I have come up with a new word) I was going tollok for one at my
local yarn store. I had to go in and pick up my "Felted Knits" book as
well Low and behold there was one sitting on the counter. They had just
come in, so I bought one. It is a INOX strickmuhle. I have not even
taken it out of its box as jet. In my book Domino knitting there are
several shawls and ponchos that are finished with cute little pompoms or
balls at the end of the points of the knitting. They are knitted little
balls and I thought that this machine might come in handy in making them.
I must confess, I love gadgets........ I am sure that someone here will
point out to me that you can make these little balls on double pointed
knitting needles as well.....I am sure that it so, still this little
machine looks like a lot of fun.

Will keep you posted on my adventures. Maybe my 6x6 will have little
balls on the four points of each one.....LOL

Els
