To a good hand knitter, I suspect that isn't a compliment!My ex was 'Head of Textiles' at an all girl school, I've still got Jumpers she knitted. When people asked me where I'd bought the one I was wearing and I told them it was 'Hand Knitted' their jaws would drop "It looks 'Shop Bought' though" they'd say.![]()
I'm sitting here wearing the guernsey my mother in law knitted for me. Far & away the nicest jumper I've ever owned. 20 years old now. You'd think the old ratbag would have managed another one by now. I don't know, old people...think only of themselves.My ex was 'Head of Textiles' at an all girl school, I've still got Jumpers she knitted.

You are a better person than me. I thought "snitches get stitches""A thread for stitchers..."
I see what you did there! Very good!
I'm going to be able to do this...Learn to knit and you can make your own?
I've only ever made a beanie in cable stitch, but it was great fun. You follow the step by step stitches in the pattern (get your mum to explain what slipping a stitch means) and this amazing pattern just falls right out.
Why not
