I am working on a graphgan with multiple color changes. My yarn tangling up made me absolutely wanting to quit several times. I even had to start over on it after I reached row 90 something because of the yarn tangling. Until I saw this..........I don't have a stand yet for mine but I have a makeshift something similar to this. And I ordered some of the spools from Amazon. This is amazing way to work graphgans. You saved me!!!!!!! Cause I was losing my mind! Thank you for making this!!!!! Best idea that works. No more tangles for me. Thanks to you!!!!
That seems like a really great idea. My husband has a lot of tools and I told him if he buys one more tool he would have to build me something so I think I'm gonna get him to do that. I crochet a lot and I'm trying. Come up with a solutin to hold my arms. Yes, I'm working. I think it would also be good for somebody who doesn't have a lot of space to work or hand control.😊❤😮
@@KnottingHookCrochet It looks like it can fold up too. Genius! And with larger projects I definitely prefer to be in a more entertaining area like the couch. 🧡
I loved your idea so much I had my dad make me one. We used pvc pipe and some acrab wood for the ends. t's loaded and ready to go. He also made a piece for his drill to make winding faster.
Thank, thank you. I just started my first graphgan, jungle baby blanket. What a nightmare with the tangle yarn. This is going to make it a breeze. Love it.
Thank you soooo much for sharing this. I made a large blanket using the yellow bobbins. Surprised I had any hair left wish I saw this sooner thanks again
What a great idea! I'm struggling with a project now with 14 bobbins (and more to add); using a cart on wheels but still a mess. Im asking my husband to build me one like yours, but maybe make it taller and put coasters on the bottom so I can roll it around!
Pleas have your friend(John) do a video on how he made your stand. Do your stool have cut in it To secure the yarn when it is not unusual it does not unravel. Is there a tutorial on How to print out You'll pitch it so they'll be digital.
He just made it like a picture frame and put braces/legs on the to hold it up. You don’t need all that you could take a box or tote and notch out spaces to place the rods.
It is 29 inches wide and 21 inches tall. John made it bigger then I requested. You can really do any size you like it all depends on how many rods you want to attach. The hooks for the rods go on the front of the frame so I have even extended my rods out past the frame to fit more spools than would fit only on the inside of the frame.

You have proven that necessity is the mother of invention!
🥰🥰🥰
That frame is freaking genius! If I ever do a graph I am making one of these!
Yes! John did a great job on it!! It's so much easier with these spools vs those other things. Plus I can relocate I'm not trapped in one place!

@@AntisocialAuntie yes the legs fold back so it can be tucked away when not being used.😊
I also think the variegated yarn for the background is stunning!!!!

That is awesome! I need the drill thingy!
Thank, thank you. I just started my first graphgan, jungle baby blanket. What a nightmare with the tangle yarn. This is going to make it a breeze. Love it.
It was a huge help!
Thank you so much! I have been looking for spools so I could do colors
You are so welcome! These are so much nicer to work with than those other things. I am enjoying my project so much more this way.
Thats a great idea you just saved us all a huge head ache ' thank you, thank you.
You are welcome! I love it!! So much more enjoyable to do the color work with this.
Way to go John 👍🏽 you could probably put your whole skein on the rod once you work out the middle a bit.
John says "I got Kudos"! He did a good job on the rack. I am going to attach some brackets above my desk as well for smaller projects.
Thank you soooo much for sharing this. I made a large blanket using the yellow bobbins. Surprised I had any hair left wish I saw this sooner thanks again
I wouldn’t last an entire blanket 🤣
How ingenious!! Outstanding idea. Thank you so much.
Thanks Ruth! This was just too good not to share. It is so much easier!!!
i haven't tried making a graphgan yet but this looks genius. Good to know if I ever take the plunge. Your husband is awesome too.
Thanks so much!
That is absolutely brilliant thank you so much 😁
Genius idea!! Would work for the temperature blanket too im thinking. Then all the colors would be right handy. Omg now I want one haha
That could work too!

Good idea
What a great idea!!❤
Thank you! 😊
Thank you very much for telling me how to. There's yellow yarn holders work cause I'm looking for. I'm glad I didn't get those thank you
Those yellow bobbins are awful to use.
Thank you so much. That's awesome!!! Very helpful
Glad it was helpful!
How did he make the frame? I like it.
I have been recycling curling ribbon plastic spools for bobbins. They work great 🥰🧵🧶
Great idea!
Great idea!!! TY
You bet!
Ingenious!!
Thanks Vickie 😊
I need a "john" in my life LOL!
Maybe you could do a tutorial on how to build such a frame. I'd watch it :)
Thanks for the idea!
6:12 I would like to know measurements of frame and just how to make stand please
Thank you. Cheap place to nice curtain rob goodwell.
Yes thrift stores are loaded with them
Genius!! How do you wind your spools? Do you use a cake yarn baller and then slide them onto the spools?
I just wind them by hand. I had someone tell me they made a drill attachment to wind them.
Please show your frame on the side. How did put the legs on.
He attached them with wood screws

So when you turn the blanket, do you flip the rod?
You can do it that way. or always turn your work in opposite directions. Meaning turning to the right then next time to the left.
Would you mind sharing the dimensions of your frame? My husband is gonna try to make me one!
It is 29 inches wide and 21 inches tall. John made it bigger then I requested. You can really do any size you like it all depends on how many rods you want to attach.

Awesome
You really should pattern your idea.
Maybe 🤔
