redroseSpool knitters are also called French knitters, knitting Nancies, knitting pegs, or knitting knobs, or corkers. They look like this or these. Or you can take a spool and nail four nails into the top and use that instead of a fancy store bought one.
I have several, from several different manufacturers. Worsted weight cotton makes a nice long cat toy. Or you can knit a long strand, then coil it up and sew it down for a chair cushion or a rug.
More patterns here, and lots of spool knitting stuff here. You could also google the terms at the top of the post.
Klutz offers a book on spool knitted jewelry. I'm tempted....
Also, knitting looms (also called knitting rakes, knit-a-rounds (a brand name) work on the same principle as a spool knitter, but much larger. Again, google for more links; I don't have enough time to sort the good ones out.
I may come back someday and make this entry prettier...
