Sewing thread no
longer comes on wooden spools and that’s too bad. Here you see my wooden spool
collection. I treasure these, a remnant from my childhood.

| My wooden spool collection, two with nails added for knitting |
As a little girl
I learned to knit using a spool. My dad pounded nails into the top for me. Then with bits
and pieces of yarn, mostly of inexpensive acrylic, I spent many happy hours
producing long, usually colorful knit tubing. (Variegated yarn was my favorite
even back then.) It did not matter that I had no idea how to use these in any
particular way. The making of them was what mattered to me.
Did you do the
same? What did you do with the knitted cord?
