My girls love to finger knit and do it just about anywhere, anytime. It is a great way to knit without having to pay for a spool knitter (or make one yourself).
A post on my other blog reminded me about how to make your own knitting nancy. I have several spool knitters that I have gotten (one is the Clover Wonder Knitter that I got on sale for about $3). But I have never taken the time to teach the girls how to use them. Maybe for Christmas this year, we will give one to each of the girls.
I found a page which has a small amount of patterns, one of them for a doll! (Well, it says "mascot" in the directions BUT remove the hat and replace with hair and you have a doll! I have three girls and most EVERYTHING is turned into a doll!) I have not had a LOT of time to explore the site, but the page does talk about how to find patterns and books and such.
And then this is this site a collection of everything you wanted to know about knitting nancies and more.
Have you found any great free online patterns? Share them in the comments below! I will add more later as I find them. You can always re-find this page by searching for "knitting nancy" or "spool knitting" in the upper search bar of this blog. It searches only this blog.

Spool Knitting has a GREAT tutorial as well as a GREAT idea for making rugs with little bits of left over yarn as well as old knitted/crocheted afghans and sweaters that are falling apart!
