Your ears are minging? do you have an infection?

*gives up on trying to eat the scones with chopsticks and stabs a piece of scone with the sharp end of one stick*

OI!!! Knitting is not just a hobby for little and strange (no offence Batty, I'm not implying you're old or strange) old ladies, it's a hobby for heading-for-middle-aged laydee's too, I've just finished a pretty cool hooded scarf with a bag to match, now Alex want's one

But does it look anything like a kippered-cow? With poor hearing and scones without any spread?

That could be the new fashion trend.

But would it be something proper to wear before Labour Day? And would it require a colour co-ordinated ? I've never quite gottent the hang of these fashion thingies.

Here's a pic of it (modeled by Alex)http://community.livejournal.com/punk_knitters/1615112.html and I will have a co-ordinated bag by tomorrow so

Oh if there's a bag for it, then it's alright. Gotta have somewhere to carry the marmite and -beef.

whatever you want to carry in your is entirly up to you Nick

!!!

*starts riffling through assorted toys, tools, odd -treats in case of meeting any odd , a roller-skate key, some ancient jelly babies ...*

that's alright Reef.. I'm and heading for middle age myself.. though I couldn't knit to save my life.. but by the looks in that link that last part obviously doesn't apply to you. Cool hoodie scarf!

Knitting is making a big comeback now it's not seen as a grannies hobby, there are some great trendy patterns out there and some really funky wool. There are a lot of teach yourself to knit books and, according to the posters in lj's Punk Knitters most Yarn Stores in the US hold some kind of class in knitting

I tried it before, as well as crocheting.. can't do either in a fashion that makes the end product look even remotely like what it's supposed to..

Nick, every so often on Radio London the daytime DJ used to get women to empty their handbags and phone up and tell him what they found, it's mind blowing what we women carry around with us <yikes

I can't crochet, I've tried and failed miserably

*hands nick a fluffy polo mint from the depts of his pocket*

You should know that it may have been sucked at some point by scott

A reall one-of-a-kind mint then. and

And staying briefly on topic, I too have tried both knitting and crocheting. And was encouraged to give them both up as cruel and unusual treatment of wool.

I can crochet one very thin, long scarf... can't figure out how to loop the rows together.

I can do that.. I just can't make it so in an orderly fashion..

I can't crochet anything but I can play croquett
