When I was re-designing my Spool knitted and Lucet cord hearts and building a new pattern for them, I got all inspired and also designed some super simple Lucet cord and Spool knitted Hearts.
The pattern for the larger Hearts is at https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/48409277/woven-spool-knitted-heart-designed-by
I made a video of how to make the Simple Little Hearts.
Here’s the link to the YouTube Video.
When I found my box of tiny rigid heddles that had gone awol,
I was so delighted that I had to warp up several looms and show different ways of working with tiny rigid heddles.
They are small, but you can still do really neat things with them!
I made a video with hints and tips for tiny heddles. The link is:
Days 63 to 67 of #100daysofspoolknittersandlittlelooms-
Lucets can be used to make quick and easy friendship bracelets.
Adding beads makes them even better- and you can make beads out of tiny rubber duckies, too.
Here’s a video that shows how to make lucet cord beaded friendship bracelets. So much fun!

Day 42 of #100daysofspoolknittersandlittlelooms- How to Make a Lucet from Upcycled Chopsticks and How to Make Lucet Cord with it
One of the unexpected bonuses of doing the 100 Day Project is that it reminds me of things that I have designed and then set aside and forgotten.
One of those things is the delightful Lucet Cord maker (Lucets are flat 2 peg spool knitters) that I use upcycled chopsticks to make. They are such a pleasure to work with and I love making cord with them.
Here is the link to the video tutorial: https://youtu.be/xvGmJgq72Mg
Would you like to make Irresistible tiny Red Hats to wear on your finger –
cheering yourself up in these challenging times, or for reminding yourself that Hope is an antidote to despair and cynicism
OR maybe just for a moment of fun in putting on very small finger puppet shows?
OR, perhaps to wear on your lapel or pin to your bag or backpack as a sign of community and connection, OR to give as little gifts to friends and family and fellow travellers?
Okay, here’s a video that I made showing how to spool knit an Irresistible Tiny Red Hat with yarn or fabric strips if you can’t find red yarn. Previously, I have made video tutorials on how to spool knit in the round, as well as flat panels and also how to spool knit with fabric strips. All the links to the tutorials and so much more are at my blog tottietalkscrafts dot com.
For Day 21 of #100daysofspoolknittersandlittlelooms- I made a video tutorial showing how to make a spool knitter from upcycled cardboard and bamboo skewers, finished with papier mache whimsy.
It’s a lovely and sturdy little spool knitter that is a delight to work with. For more information, please go to http://www.tottietalkscrafts.com
For Day 19 of #100daysofspoolknittersandlittlelooms I made a video of hints and tips for spool knitting with fabric strips on large spool knitters.
There are so many creative possibilities and I will be showing more of them during my 100 day project.
Spool knitting with fabric strips is a fun spool knitting technique that is an excellent way to upcycle worn out clothing or scraps of fabric.
For Day 18 of #100daysofspoolknittersandlittlelooms I made a video showing how to spool knit a flat panel cord on a 5 or 6 or 7 or more pegs spool knitter.
This is a VERY useful spool knitting technique!
Happy Spool Knitting! ❤
For Day 17 of #100daysofspoolknittersandlittlelooms

Day 16 of #100daysofspoolknittersandlittlelooms- A video tutorial for making square 2 peg cord on almost any spool knitter
For Day 16 of #100daysofspoolknittersandlittlelooms I made a video showing how to use any size of spool knitter (with any number of pegs) like a lucet to make square cord by using only 2 pegs of the spool knitter.
