It's just a not-very-subtle dig at the medioricty (??) of some recent posts.
Well, it's hard to be original these days.

I knit, and crochet.
I buy general DK for 99p a ball, although it is getting more difficult to find.
Oh, I prefer 10 or 8 knitting needles, 10 for the ribbing. But for crocheting i have 3.50mm hook. Well, I have about 10 dotted aorund the house and will always find one if I need one.
However, must say the blankets I make are lovely. I made one to look like Thomas the tank for my partners lad.

Salsa I really admire you becasue all these skills are dying arts and they are so valuable. I can only knit in straight lines and in plain or pearl so I'm not much use!
Well you're better than me Oldspice - I can cast on and knit plain but that's it. I can't do pearl or cast off!

To be honest there isn't much to it other than knitting and pearl. I like Cabling because it feels nice as your doing it, but once you have done it once its just like fancy knitting.
My nan taught me when I was a little girl, and I am glad she did because she hasn't the ability to teach me now and im really glad i know. I have shown my boyfriends daughter aswell, i think she has the chance to be a good knitter.
