This one's mostly for astormorray but others of you may find it equally entertaining. We found this in an antique shop while we were in Maine, and I managed to restrain myself from purchasing it:

Wait... you didn't buy it? I probably would have. That's such a bizarrely awesome toy/gadget/applicance/etc.

It was a little large for the suitcase/plane thing, and we've been desperately trying to figure out where to put all the stuff we already have. So I only slightly regret not getting it...

I would have gotten it just for the "for girls... it's great" tagline. :P

But, I don't get it. How does it work? It's got two spool knitting attachments, but nothing drives the wheel?

I don't think you can spin on it, am I right? Does moving the wheel drive the knitting?
