You gotta check this thing out. I wonder if we can still buy this item anywhere but Ebay?? Anyone out there own one or ever used one? Does it really work? Inquiring minds and fingers want to know.

Well, I answered my own question by going to Ebay and finding two of these for sale. I’ve bid on one and will be receiving it before long. I’ll report back on how well it works. Can’t wait to give it a try!

UPDATE - I purchased one of these ‘Knitters’ on Ebay. Couldn’t figure out how to work it with the instructions that were included. Took it to my local crochet club meeting where experienced crocheters and knitters each had a try at it. No one could figure it out!! No wonder K-Tel didn’t keep them on the market very long. Would love to hear from anyone who has used this implement successfully.

    I found one in a thrift store, and posted about it on my blog: http://wayoutwear.blogspot.com/2007/05/k-tel-knitter.html

    I have one that I found, probably in a thrift store a long time ago. Were you able to follow the video well enough to make it work?

    I was able to pick up one of these this morning at a yard sale but mine is called a Grant One Needle looper. It came with instructions which seem clear to me. If anyone is interested, I could scan and send them.
    HI JAN. I actually have the instructions that came in the original package. I just don’t understand them! Nor do my knitting friends. I choose to spend my little bit of spare time on crochet so will set this ‘toy’ aside. Perhaps one day it will become clear to me. jd

    I have 3 different balls of Kountry Kable Kotton by Lily. App.77 yards. This is heavier than Speed Cro Sheen . Would like a pattern or suggestions on how to use this as it is 3 different colors. Thanks
