what ? whaaat ?
whats with the

Oooh black chenile, I'm going to have to think about that

its gorgeous so soft - however . . . . and there always is a however isnt there ? always buy the dear stuff cos even tho it sheds like mad when you are knitting it the more expensive doesnt shed as much as the cheap - with the cheap you are likely to find that you just have a piece of string when you get to the end of a row
do you machine knit ? i am selling my knitting machine - bought it and never used it once cos its not the same as doing it with 2 needles lol obvious i know but there you go

I've never machine knitted, I've often wanted to have a go tho. My mum always says "You get what you pay for"

i can tell you that the reason i never used the machine was that, compared to 2 needles the thing was ( looked ) unneccessarily complicated and time consuming - i dont think it is i just lost the will to live looking at it

Don't you have to buy special wool for it?

no you can use up to double knit and anything below - its got a ribber and all i think you can use normal knitting patterns but you have to be clever to be able to convert em

I know there's a magazine for Machine knitters, It does look complicated tho, I'll stick to the needles it's a de-stresser

too right and quieter

And you can't take a machine on a bus or a train or take it to work with you

thats true lol also the wool comes on cones so you would have a problem getting them on the bus with the rest of it lol
no 2 needles is by far the best

I started on my daughter's hooded scarf tonight, I'm going to be ribbing in my sleep before long

the same as the one in the picture ?
mind you dont roll over on those needles

Yes but in a different colour

had you thought about selling them on ebay come the winter ? iam sure you would make some dosh

I think I'm going to be sick of them come winter

i guess but they look quick to knit as they are so thick

They are really quick, the bag took me 4 days, the scarf took me about 6 days in all

the wine of angels any one read it
