| Are you kidding.... knitting? Man, that's brutal - what size needles you gonna use, the big fat ones, skinny ones? How long do you want them? What technique you gonna use, how's your casting off? What about the wool (it's not all about the equipment I know, but it does make a difference)? Thick pure wool? Mohair? Nylon? What about the colour? Patterns or plain?
You know, back in the old days my Mum used to churn out the jerseys for us, but we always wondered if there was a better, faster way. Knitting machines came and went, they just didn't have that good feel about them, all sorts of options were tried, crikey, she even changes needle manufacturers (you know how hard it can be changing systems).
Then there's the knitting fora on the internet - don't go near them. Full of trolls, name calling, arguments. Stick to the photography. |
