Dear Jean,
Not only could you make the tubular bits with a circular needle, but
with a knitting dolly - a wooden cotton reel or similar with the
appropriate number of small nails around the centre hole. I used to
make yards of the stuff as a child and did actually once make two
coils sewn together to make a bag. Never did find another use for it.
My sister's grandchildren are going through this phase of "French
Knitting" right now, and she's taught them how to join the cord into
loops to make flowers - much quicker and more practical for kids than
trying to make yards and yards of the wretched stuff and then joining
it into a long coil for a pot holder!!!
