Do you know this tool?
It’s a pretty old tool from the time of the Vikings and the medieval era. It was used to make cords for clothing or to hang objects from a belt. This tool is called a Lucet (braiding). It has the shape of a lyre and makes pretty square cords. You can use different thicknesses of fibers depending on the final use of the cord. Some are made of wood, others have a fork where 2 prongs were removed, and some are made of plastic. For my part, I have one in wood and the other in plastic. Both work very well; sometimes it’s just a matter of choosing the grip of this tool (small, large, plastic, or wood) to fit your way of working. It doesn’t replace an electric tool for speed, of course, but it can be very handy for making pretty and practical items. Let me show it to you: it’s called a Lucet. I’ve included photos of my Lucets and a video link to learn how to use this tool. The wooden lucet was bought on Amazon and the plastic one was printed by my partner.
Sew a button with wool
The first problem we encounter is that our wool needles do not pass through the holes of several buttons, the cat is too much and also the wool seems too big. How to do it? Here's an easy trick. You take a floss threaders (see photos) and you will thread your wool inside and pass it through the button hole then on your piece where the button goes (if you leave a good length of wool on the back of the button you can alternate with a wool needle, but normally the floss threaders can be used to sew on your piece where the button goes). I share photos with you to help you better understand this trick.

Is it necessary to block our knits?
Absolutely! It’s the icing on the cake—it gives the piece its final shape and texture. In my first photo, the knit was simply stretched (Method 2 in the attached document). In the second photo, it was steam-blocked (Method 4 in the attached document). Which one do you prefer? Whether using a crochet hook, a knitting needle, or a CMK tool, you will achieve a beautiful, well-positioned knit.
