My invention relates broadly to devices for knitting, crocheting and other crafting used to advantage for making numerous forms of fringe and other adornment requiring the use of multiple, identical-length strand materials and has as one of its objectives to provide a simply constructed, reusable, adjustable device. A further objective of this invention is to provide a measuring and cutting device of the character set forth, that is simple in construction, inexpensive to manufacture, and is extremely efficient and versatile in use and service. It has been common practice to use a piece of cardboard for one of its uses, making fringe, however, only one size of fringe or other strand material can be manufactured by that method, making it necessary to have a separate apparatus for each length of strand material desired. It is to overcome this problem that I have primarily created this adjustable apparatus which consists in the construction and combination of parts, which will be more fully hereinafter described, and pointed out in the claims.The object of my invention is to provide a simple and inexpensive device for facilitating the manufacture of fringe and other adornments of like nature in multiple sizes. From the foregoing abstract description, taken in connection with the more detailed description and accompanying drawings, it is thought that the construction and operation of the device will be readily understood without requiring a more extended explanation, and that the numerous advantages of such devise will be apparent.
