Knitting

What the hell am i doing knitting

I am far too cool for that.

Wait.....no i'm not

Aaaaanyway. I have not held a knitting needle in almost 20 years. My last attempt was a skirt for a hand-me-down Barbie. By the time i finished there were so many holes and dropped stitches, it looked more like a tramps vest. My knitting career was over.

Since then I hadnt even considered picking up another knitting needle (apart from wanting to stab myself in the eye every time a Ray Mears documentary cames on), and yet here i am, contemplating a trip to Shaws the drapers to buy a set of knitting needles and wool.

To really understand why we need to travel back a few weeks to a post that was made by weedledeedle on Digital Spy. She posted a pic of a little knitted Ood...

How cute is that!! So basically I commented on how i'd love to be able to knit. So when a few weeks later Hammy decided to make a scarf.....a FOUR scarf, i was overcome with jealousy. So i toddled off to ebay to buy one. £35!!!! you are having a laugh. The entire outfit i have on doesnt total £35 quid (there are somethings money can't buy...for everything else theres Primark). So i thought i'd give it a go before shamelessly going to Hammy to beg her to make one for me when it all goes horribly wrong.

BUT....I now realise i have to learn to knit. Hooray for Videojug!! A few minutes worth of "how to" videos and i think i am ready *gulp*
