Are you a big knit? 😄

I've been making cute fingerless mitts for my mum. The yarn is British blue wool by Erika Knight. It comes in lovely colours like 'Classic' a gorgeous petrol/grey, in cute little dinky 25g skeins. It is so soft and silky, but any DK weight would work. I bought mine on ebay.

@Strongtea It's a shame that these hobbies aren't as popular as they used to be. My mum used to love hand knitting until she got arthritis. She did try a knitting machine once but ended up wanting to take a hammer to it!

Yes it is, I tried knitting but couldn’t get my head around it, I’m pretty good at sewing though.@Eclecticallysound

@Strongtea I love sewing too. I can crochet but tend to knit more.

@Eclecticallysound I’ve never tried crocheting (i may have tried at school or something but I can’t remember!) You’re inspiring me to get the knitting needles out! I’d love to learn!

@Strongtea Yes, try it. Its very relaxing. 👌

Ok! I have a few projects/skills to conquer but I’m adding knitting to the list! I can’t wait to get into it!!@Eclecticallysound
