That's kind of neat, but it looks too complex of an object for that purpose. A knitting spool (aka a jig to knit gloves) can be as simple as wood ring with nails around it. Even though it might work, it looks way too precious for such a common tool. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spool_knitting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spool_knitting for pictures
