(re-post)
I would imagine this old percolator brewed some serious coffee in its time. It now stores yarn in the top part and the bottom section is perfect for keeping a ball of yarn in place while knitting.
The knitting needles are jumbo plastic pick-up-sticks from the Dollar Store and they work surprisingly well for Knitting.
The work in progress is an "I wonder what will happen if I wind yarn forward once and knit one, then wind yarn forward twice and knit one etc. Well – so far it seems to be making a rather interesting wave
pattern.
Kind of like water bubbling up a spout to fall back down through grounds and make coffee……..
This is a post from Sept 25 2007. I came across it while searching the archives for unique uses for objects. And this coincided with a wish to once again have a yarn holder while knitting. The old coffee pot somewhere over the last eleven years went elsewhere.
I like the WIP and will give it a try to see what evolves further with such stitches.
The antenna are now out seeking something unusual to perfectly suit being a yarn holder. A large annual community garage sale is coming up this weekend and there will be many items to consider.
