Playing around with My De' a' tricot....... or My Knitting Thimble in English :)
How's My French..Isabelle ????
There are no directions with it so looking at the pitcure it should be simple to follow, right??? Well.. I put it on like the picture but it was the wrong hand for me.. I don't knit with that hand so I assume you put it on the "working" neelde hand... It take s little getting used to but I think maybe its good.. It keeps the yarn from getting tangled and the yarn is all on one finger.. Sometimes when I do two colors I put one color in each hand and work with the two fingers... Both Hands.. But this might be easier when I get the hang of it :)

What a great blog! Love the sheep sweater, the noro hat and more. I really enjoy knitting for those little ones.
I use the yarn holder on the finger when I double knit. It really helps.

Your "De a tricoter" seems to work great, Penny! Your french is not bad either... LOL
I have never tried one of these knitting thimbles yet (BTW, you just taught me the name in english - thanks!)but I don't think it would work for me as I am a "thrower"...
I am condamned to be tangled when I do Intarsia... ;-)
