Knitting Nancy Doll

Remember 'knitting nancies' when you were little? Well with a history dating back over 400 years, they are back in vogue!

A Knitting Nancy is a small, often handheld device that enables items to be constructed out of yarn by some knitting-like technique. With a Knitting Nancy, the knitting takes place when the yarn is wrapped around the peglike objects. It is then lifted over, thereby creating stitches. This process is repeated continually until the project is complete.
