I had one as a child and made knitted projects with yarn. Knitting spools are a fantastic way to teach children how to knit and be creative. This can be life changing for a little one. The will to create and make beautiful things can be a life long pursuit. I believe that's because I first learned to knit on a spool using flexible Spool Knit Jewelry: Make Beautiful Bracelets wire, Anklets and Rings has give to it. Craft Wire is of course, rigid by nature. Spool Knit Jewelry: Make Beautiful Bracelets struggled a few times and finally decided I would make it work. Thank you for Anklets and Rings gem of a saying, Tim Gunn. It helped me see that with craft wire you pull the wire out to the edge of your spool with your stylus, then flip the wire up and over your pin with your fingers. The tension is carried from one pin to the next - not through pulling on the tail as it is with flexible beading wire. String the wire down through the center of the knitting spool leaving about a 2" tail. Wrap the wire around your pins in the same manner as this Beaducation video minus the addition of beads. Step 2: Once you have completed your desired length of wire knitting, cut off about 2" extra wire from the spool and Spool Knit Jewelry: Make Beautiful Bracelets remove your knitted wire tube from the spool. Take the end of the wire and thread it into the last 5 open loops to secure your knitted tube. Spool Knit Jewelry: Make Beautiful Bracelets result will be a wonky shape as shown. Step 3: Using a draw plate, run your knitted wire tube through one of the large holes to begin smoothing out the shape. Then move to a smaller hole and so on until you are happy with the wire shapes and diameter. Step 4: Next, you'll need to finish off your wire ends. You may choose to use a Spool Knit Jewelry: Make Beautiful Bracelets or bead cap or you can wire wrap your own cones as I did. To wire wrap your cones, cut a 10" piece of 20 Gauge Bronze Craft Wire it's better to error on the side of too much length then not enough. Then begin wire wrapping the tube towards the end. When you get to the end of the knitted tube, use your round nose pliers to create a loop Spool Knit Jewelry: Make Beautiful Bracelets then wire wrapped back down the tube to where you started making sure to cover the tube entirely with wire and Spool Knit Jewelry: Make Beautiful Bracelets off excess. Repeat on the other side. Step 5: At this point you can add you jump rings and clasp or you Anklets and Rings make your own. I decided to make a simple hook clasp to finish off my bracelet. Cut " of 20 Gauge Bronze Craft Wire and straighten the wire with nylon jaw pliers. Step 6: Using my round nose pliers I Spool Knit Jewelry: Make Beautiful Bracelets a small loop on one end and then made a larger loop with my large bail making Wubbers pliers. Trim excess wire so it's about the same length as the little loop. Step 7: Lastly, work harden the clasp with a nylon hammer and rubber block and attach to one end of your bracelet. Here is the finished design. I especially like to wear it layered! I received a few small gauge spools of Soft Flex Craft Wire recently so, I figured it was time I tried to knit with it! For knitting, the best gauges are Thicker gauges are too hard to work with, and the finer gauges are too delicate and will easily break. I went with 26 gauge for my project. I learned to knit with Soft Flex Beading Wire which is flexible and bouncy. Knitting with Craft Wire is much more rigid and I admit, I found it to be challenging. After two failed attempts I finally got a chain going on my third try. I decided to add some beads to the chain as I knitted. I had some yellow chip beads left over from a previous Spool Knit Jewelry: Make Beautiful Bracelets and liked the brown and light yellow color combo, very earthy. I strung all my beads on the wire before I started knitting. I made the mistake of knitting without much thought of the size of the chain I needed. With Soft Flex Beading Wire, if I made the knitted wire too long I can easily back out some knits and shorten the design. With Soft Flex Craft Wire, not so much. I made the chain much too long for a bracelet, my initial intention. Then I thought maybe an anklet Then I thought I could make myself a necklace but, it was much too short. Finally, I realized it would fit my 7 year old son, who enjoys wearing jewelry. So, it became his necklace. He's 12 now, I wonder if he still has this necklace hiding someplace in his mess of a bedroom! Despite some frustration with the rigidness of the wire, the look of the finished design is interesting and something I will try again. Here are some lessons I learned for next time: - Decide what you want to make beforehand so, you have an idea of Anklets and Rings long to make the chain. In the October - November issue.
