Is this so you can all sit around ' Madame Guillotine ' ?.

[rockyracoon]

I'd love to join in but have no idea how to knit.

[Ratty2E]

27 years experience, nothing actually started but plenty of projects planned as I've got 2 great nephews in toddler and 3 month baby form to make for.

[maggiebee]

I'm busy knitting for "fish and chip" babies at the moment. Small jumpers, hats and blankets.

[Ann]

An experienced knitter? ............ I once started a matinee coat for a friends baby but left it unfinished in the bottom of my wardrobe in a knitting bag, until I unpicked it and sent the wool to charity last year!
The "baby" is now 40 this year!

[albaqwerty]

Rocky, most charity shops sell needles. (Unless you go to Tilly's) Get some wool from a poundshop and start with a scarf.
We'll help.


Tony, we'll keep the wool away from the puddles of blood.

[Ann]

What are "fish and chip babies" Maggie?

[albaqwerty]

I never knew until the other day Ann. Apparently, the wee souls are wrapped in newspaper. I think Peru was mentioned.

[Eve]

Me hopefully! I used to knit quite a bit but arthritis hands have been making it hard (along with a cat hanging on the end on my knitting needles!). I've got a load of wool and needles and a crochet hook and a gorgeous nephew and another niece/nephew on the way (and other friends with and having babies) and so want to knit some nice stuff but it frustrates me I can't do it like I used to or for long. Maybe need to just do little things bit by bit.

[maggiebee]

Ann, in some countries the families are so poor that the babies are wrapped in newspaper to keep them warm - hence "fish and chip" babies.

[mojay]

I knit too, mostly hats etc for premature babies which I donate to the local hospital

[B00]

I'd love ot be able to knit.

[albaqwerty]

The thought of B00 with knitting needles scares me.

I'm left-handed and was taught to knit by my mother and a teacher. Both of whom were lefties. I knit right-handed. Dunno why.

[maggiebee]

Boo, knitting is so easy, Taught my 13 year old grandson in an hour. OK, he holds the pins rather awkwardly but that's OK, he's knitting.

[rowanwitch]

I'm in... willy warmers a speciality

[albaqwerty]

lol Rowan, Tony and Moony will be pleased:-)

[B00]

im a lefty too, does that make a difference?

I did huff and puff at your initial comment Alba, but to be fair, it's probably not wise giving me sharp pointy objects!

[tonyav]

Mine warm enough at the mo rowan ( scald injuries ).
