Example knitting needle connector assemblies, e.g., for a knitting needle or crochet tool, may include first and second members. The first member may be generally cylindrical and have a radially facing slot extending circumferentially about a longitudinal axis of the first member. The second member may have one or more radially projecting pins received in the slot, wherein the one or more pins are movable about the circumferentially extending slot such that the first member is rotatable with respect to the second member about the longitudinal axis.

To provide a manual knitting device which can prepare easily a plurality of kinds of pieces of knitted fabric, a manual knitting device includes a plurality of pin members. The pin member is formed by a shaft portion and a protuberant portion which is formed on the shaft portion. A first base member having a shirt rod shape has a first common hole portion which is formed so that the shaft portion of the pin member can be inserted thereinto. Similarly, a second base member having a short rod shape has a second common hole portion which is formed so that the shaft portion of the pin member can be inserted thereinto. The first base member and the second base member can be rotated relatively about the first common hole portion and the second common hole portion into which the pin member is commonly inserted.

A system, method, and material for encouraging study or mastery of a fibre art skill is provided. A fibre source material is incentivized to encourage individuals learning or mastering a fibre art skill by concealing a tracker in the fibre material or attaching it to the packaging of the fibre material. The tracker may be a coupon, token, or ticket that reveals a code, number, or some other form of identifier associated with an incentive. The tracker is revealed upon unwinding the fibre material while performing the fibre art skill, which allows the individual to exchange the revealed tracker for an incentive at, for example, a specific store, online, or through some other specified manner

Crochet hooks and knitting needles configured with devices and systems to assist a user in counting, tracking and following a crocheting or knitting pattern, either automatically or manually. A crochet hook or knitting needle is provided with an integrated electronic or manual counting system or device. The integrated counting systems and devices can include an electronic or manual display, a button/sensor and/or an accelerometer configured to detect a motion. The integrated counting systems and devices can also include an integrated computer, power source and software. The integrated counting systems and devices can also include wireless communication devices, optical devices, speakers, tactile signal devices and/or audio devices.

A loom knitting apparatus that enables the user to complete the action of creating a purl or knit stitch on a loom in one fluid step, thereby speeding up the knitting process is provided. The knitting apparatus may include a handle coupled to an arm extending therefrom along a longitudinal axis. The distal end of the arm provides a first hook portion and a second hook portion, wherein the hook portions diverge away from each other along a shared plane, forming supplementary angles relative to the longitudinal axis. The angle of each hook portion is less than or greater than a right angle relative to the longitudinal axis by a predetermined range so as to enable the manipulation of knitting stitches and working stands in the one-step formation of the purl or knit stitches on the loom.
