LOL, my mum is amazing, she can unknit when she makes boo boos and that just stuns me everytime... And pmsl one night she stayed over and we were knitting together and it was totally a tortoise and the hare scenario... I am sooooo slow. But its nice to have someone to ask silly questions of.

I have used at Paton's book which has basic stuff like scarves and a blankie which has meant I can learn to knit and I love being a knitting nanna in front of the tv. I'm not an ace but its really enjoyable. I am trying to get speedy as I want to finish a poncho (lots of squares for sewing eek) by Dec for my Sister.

I am really good at scarves now coz they don't take long and I can actually complete them, unlike my blankie which I just cannot get to sewing up
