Knitting Forks Aplenty: Rad-Made Lucets!

Friends, neighbors, vikings alike... you may recall this radmegan blog post on using lucets to make scarflets (half scarf/half necklace.) Quite a few of you asked where you could buy these lucets, and so I decided to shape and sand a batch. Just for you! 
I worked on these all weekend, and will officially put them up in my etsy store tonight, along with several scarflets I've made in an array of colors and yarns. 
If you would like to pre-order any of these now, please feel free to drop me an email. (megan at radmegan dot com)

Otherwise, check the radmegn etsy store tomorrow!
In addition to just the forks, which are $13 each and come with a hand-drawn instruction booklet, I will be selling some lucet-knitting kits that include some of my favorite yarns. These make great holiday gifts for all ages!
Hope you enjoy these as much as I do! 
They smell amazing, are as smooth as can be, and were shaped to fit comfortably in your hand! And as I said, each one was made BY HAND, by yours truly. 
I'm going to be giving a lot of hand-made gifts this year for Christmas, and if you are looking for a unique gift made with love, this is it! (Or these!) Happy crafting ya'll!

  3. I want one, too! :D I've been wanting to do something for a caring friend of mine, but I didn't want to just throw a giftcard in a bag and call it good. What a very thoughtful gift this will be. :)

  11. Thank you for the Lucet gift pack! I gave this to my daughter for her 14th birthday on Jan 5. We were not able to view the video on You Tube however. It said it was unavailable. She figured out how to make them without a problem but we are wondering the best way to finish them. We just tied a knot and used a knitting needle to weave in the ends. Is this right?


    Thanks again!

  12. Hi Dar! I'm sorry the video didn't work- It worked for me when I went to this URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzFNb_8noec

    Basically, you weave the end of the yarn through both of the loops that go around each fork tine. Then give the yarn a good strong pull- it should knot itself :)

    I hope your daughter enjoys! Thank you so much for your order
    xoxo

  13. I sent you an email requesting a knitting fork. I would love one. Can you tell me if and when you might have more?

  14. Goodness, are you not selling the lucets anymore? I would love one to use in school in our Treasure topic - starting with the Vikings! Can't find them on etsy though...

    Help, please!!
