Automatic Spool Knitter Buy This: http://www.amazon.com/Caron-20293-Embellish-Knit-Machine-Kit/dp/B003W0AUQ4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1407504384&sr=8-1&keywords=automatic+spool+knitter Instructions: First, hold the device so the words are facing you and the lever is on your right. Thread your yarn through the small hole on the left of the machine. Pull yarn up and lay in the groove on top rim. Insert yarn down the center and out the bottom of the device, and attach the weighted clamp to bottom of yarn. Make sure all latches are open, if not, use your tapestry needle to pull the latch down. Begin turning the crank away from you, following the arrow on the side right of device. Let your 1st latch catch your yarn. Continue rotating the lever, but this time pull yarn over 2nd latch, rotate catching the yarn on the 3rd latch and skipping the 4th. Now just rotate the lever until desired length is achieved. Tips: Work iCord on side of table or in lap, keeping the weighted clamp hoovering never laying on any surface. You want to you the weight to pull your iCord down the device and keep your stitches even. You can use most light weight and worsted weight yarns. Experiment with different ones and see which on you like best. Finishing: When youve reached your length, go ahead and cut your yarn from the yarn ball. Pull yarn up to the top of the device and rotate lever, without catching the yarn tail, until all stitches have been released from the latches. Now thread your tail on your tapestry needle and weave in your 4 live stitches and pull tight to close. Now youve made an iCord fast and easy. Enjoy embellishing your knitted projects.$
