I hope you don't mind another look at
another new Knitting Nancy (Spear's
style), but this one is a little different,
believe me.
You know that I can never have enough
of this style spool knitter, and I made
a special request to my very special
woodturner friend to make a "Nancy" of
a different size - 20cms.
The original vintage "Nancies" are
10cms in height.
As I started with this painting project, I
thought that you might like to see the
work in stages.
So, here is the blank 20cms, very nicely
turned by my talented friend.

And here she is complete with
arms and knitting. I have yet
to give her a protective acrylic
coating to make her all shiny.

Now I will sneak yet another one in here, this
one is my dear husband's first attempt at turning
a Knitting Nancy (Spear's style). Of course,
painted by me - I call this one a Lego Knitting Nancy!
It still needs the nails and hollowed centre
for it to be a working model.
It is around 14cms in height.

I think Chris's one has character!!!
What beautiful pictures of these spool knitters.
Mine - as I remember it, from 40 plus years ago - was only made from a wooden spool (formerly a spool of thread) with nails pounded in.
