Knitting Nancy and Spool Knitters

I have finally decided to part with some of my Knitting Nancy's or
Spool Knitters. I have always loved these whimsical little toys that are
part knitter-part toy-part doll.
The colors and shapes are so fun and uplifting.
This one came complete with original box, picture book of designs for rugs, coin purse, and even a doll.
This Nancy below is very similar to the one I used as a child to make rugs, pillows and hats for my Barbies.
You can view more about these cuties in my ebay listings.

And you can read much more about them at crazyhaberdasher
she has a  wonderful blog about Nancy's and sewing items.

  1. So glad I found your lovely blog today! I love that Knitting Nancy--I know I've seen those before! Glad to hear you liked "Bright Star"--I bought the DVD a couple of weeks ago, as I LOVE that kind of film, and haven't had a chance to watch it yet--I'm excited!

    I'll be back often--hope you're having a wonderful day!
