I found this crochet pattern for a floral pincushion

thought that since the next IOLI Convention has a
flower theme that there may be a lace group which
would like something simple to make.

Hello Spiders!
I've just come across another of those odd things on eBay that makes me say,
Wha...?. Item # 250185020238. The seller says it's a lace bobbin, but
nope... definitely not. For one thing, it's 10 long!
This is an old thingy, whatever it is. Maybe not antique. but at least
Hello Clay,
I would say it can be a small object to mix the sugar in the tea, or
coffee... or to mix a cocktail drink. A kind of spoon, but only to mix
liquids. It reminds me of one my sister brought me from Italy. But this one
was made of Murano Glass.
Just a guess...

I wondered if it might be something to do with spinning. Some amazing
detail, the piece at the end looks like a hand with a whole for maybe
thread?
Now I am eager to know what it is, I hope someone out there knowsVBG

When I looked at it the first thing that sprang to mind is the do-hickey
(don't know its correct name) that is used in synagogues to follow the words
of the Torah when you are reading. Avital or Miriam might know, but we
probably won't hear from them at the moment.
Probably isn't, but other
Isn't it one of those tools that is used to make rugs etc., the thread going
though the hole then the tool is pushed though the backing, which is usually
sacking, and then withdrawn leaving a loop. Quite an ornate one if it is
that, what do you think ??

I have one of these. It is for mixing Mexican hot chocolate.

I have two of the tool you mean and no they have a metal tip or point with a
lever to grip the material to pull it through the hessian.
I'd wondered about a drop spindle but not being a spinner I have no idea how
these things work - again maybe not!!

It's too big for that! It is 10 long (over 25 cm) and the bulb on the bottom
is almost 2 in diameter. Much too big for stirring something in a cup or
cocktail glass.

I feel it incumbent on me to mention that the Metropolitan Museum of Art is
holding a Tapestry Show, Tapestry in the Baroque: Threads of Splendor, on
until Jan. 6, 2007. There are about 45 Tapestries, from all over the world,
only
two from our collection. It is a spectacular exhibit.
Definitely a molinillo - a Mexican hot chocolate stirrer. Not a whisk, per
se, but you put it into the cup, place the handle between your palms and rub
it back and forth to froth up the milk and mix in the chocolate. They can
be quite ornate. Check out this web-site for a photo and more
Hi All,
I have a newer one! She changed the description to the right thing...a
chocolate muller. We make a lot of Mexican chocolate when it snows (if, this
year!). You make a nice cinnamon chocolate, and put the muller into the pan.
With the handle between your two palms, spin the
When I checked it, it is listed as a Chocolate mulling tool -which is how I
recognize it also.
It would be spun (fast) between the palms of one's hands to mix and froth a
cup of hot chocolate. I believe they are used in Mexico and other S. American
countries.

Looks like a book is the clear winner.
the only thing to add to that is you can't take a computer to bed
with you (unless you have a laptop), or curl up in a comfy chair with
a large mug of hot chocolate and a good computer!!

It makes a nice, frothy chocolate.
An egg whisk, used the same way, works. My whisk just
