Enter to win a French Knitter by Clover!  The French Knitter is a fantastic way to make bead jewelry.

This tool combines beads with yarn, stretchy cord, monofilament, or decorative cords to create beautiful jewelry. The Clover French Knitter has 3 interchangeable heads: 4-peg, 5-peg and 6-peg. The more pegs used the denser the cord. Beads dropped between the pegs as you knit become incorporated into the cord and instantly you have the start of earrings, a necklace or bracelet. Perfect for all ages! Watch a video of the French Knitter in action.
