We have a group (11 women and 1 man) who meet twice a week at our center to crochet and knit on projects for charity. Some years ago I volunteered to help my wife knit Christmas gifts.....but, that's another story. Let it suffice to say that I am looked to to help beginners get started with some yarn projects. A few years ago friend of ours gave me a box of odds and ends....yarn, needles patterns, etc. Among the assorted collection was a spool knitter in the form of an apple. (Inscribed 1968) I remembered my sister having one on the shape of a glass but I hadn't seen one for years and kept it. I read all the instructions I could find one the web until I finally figured it out. (I guess I lost more common sense in college than I thought!) I showed it to the ladies who remembered using one in elementary school, but no one could remember how! I am a man who works with senior citizens for the city.
