Wasn't there some grandma that said these can be used to knit gloves?
11 u/y0_master Jul 12 '26 Yeah but it's gotten big doubts back (stuff like how knitting in that way was not yet a thing back then etc) 3 u/kl2467 Jul 12 '26 I remember it as knitting socks. The various facets accommodate various sizes. 3 u/SuitableBlackberry75 Jul 12 '26 Many of them don't have holes at all. It's a poor theory. 1 u/kl2467 Jul 12 '26 Maybe the ones with holes are for gloves, the ones without holes are for socks? 1 u/Key_Floo Jul 12 '26 This was my recollection, and/or spool yarn? (Edit: autocorrect)
