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.
