The plan is for me to knit a collar /capelt type thing. Well, that's the plan anyway. I have made a start and found that the needles are very large and quite unwieldy, but I am perservering. If for no other reason that the wool was so expensive!
I did have a photo of the book and the wool etc all ready to go, but Blogger is playing up and won't let me upload them - sorry! I'll try another day.
The only photo it will let me upload is that of some books I bought on my charity shop trawls. Fluffy chick lit for 30p each. And they are sitting on a polka dot scarf that I couldn't resist.
No doubt I will be back with my knitting saga and asking for some help along the way! Wish me luck ............

Hello you, Happy New Year to you! Have just sent you a little e-mail to say hello and catch up.
Good for you on the knitting front. I was hoping to get into knitting over the hols after doing our knitting course in the autumn, but I've never managed it yet! Hopefully Karen will come and do a refresher course with me one afternoon if I bribe her with lots of tea and cake!
Good to see you back blogging again.
Take care,

Hi, hope you do well with your knitting. My mum taught me to knit when I was little but I;ve never been that good at it. I taught myself to crochet following vids on U tube and have found it much easier and more relaxing. If you struggle with the patterns in the book it might be worth looking on U Tube for some step by step stuff???
have fun

Hi Samantha, Happy New Year!
My nan taught me to knit when I was little but I've never really got on very well with it, so now I'm learning to crochet. Made 3 scarves and 2 granny squares so far! I'm finding crochet much easier.
Good luck with your knitting. :)

Good Luck with the knitting. A friend taught me about a year ago and I was so clumsy with the needles I almost gave up. I love knitting now. Try Amazon.com: Teach Yourself Visually Knitting (Teach Yourself Visually): Sharon Turner: Books. The pictures help alot.
