French Knitting...What the hell do you do with it?

Has anyone actually made something from french knitting (apart from tea coasters)? I suppose if you made it big enough you could make a beanie but seriously, what the hell is the point of it (apart from it being fun)? Has anybody got any ideas or things they have made from French Knitting to share?

its good for making draw strings with ) but aside from that, no i never found a good use for it..

...except making little mice... i made a lot of little french knitted mice when i was a kid haha

 

ah, well corking I've done plenty of...

 

Good-o! Those mice sound cute

 

It's just like the knitfty knitter.... You can actually make clothing and bags and hats and cozies and all sorts of items with it.

 

I did a search and found a picture. It looks like a technique for making sinnets. Drawstrings and the cores for shroud-laid ropes are a couple of uses for the technique.

 

Oh okie! Hehe! I can now have a use for F.K! Woo! Haha it is so fun!
