  • Publication number: 20200299875
    Abstract: A knitting ring can be worn on a knitter's finger and used to hold and tension yarn while the knitter is knitting. The knitting ring includes a yarn member that is configured to hold and tension multiple strands of yarn and a finger member that can be coupled to the yarn member to mount the yarn member on the knitter's finger. The yarn member includes opposing arms that are configured to hold the strands of yarn and apply a desired amount of tension to the strands of yarn. The yarn member may be removed from the finger member during use and then repositioned on the finger member in a desired orientation thereby facilitating a number of different knitting techniques.

  • Patent number: 10272318
    Abstract: A snowshoe provides a way for outdoor enthusiasts to traverse the backcountry effectively and efficiently. The snowshoe allows the user to glide through the snow like a cross-country ski, but with the minimal footprint of a traditional snowshoe. The snowshoe includes a board and a binding mechanism that secures the user to the board, but allows for a pivoting motion. The pivoting motion allows the user to ascend steep terrain by performing a motion similar to cross-country skiing.
