Ribbing can be a bit tricky...<br /><br />I'm attempting my first project which is a sailor doll for my husband who is currently overseas with the NZ navy... He's a PWO in training (you'll get the acronyms)<br /><br />So I can relate to the frustration that can be knitting :)Diggerellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14029416685454359150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7649782126359701245.post-78204315625568951562012-04-17T14:14:26.162+10:002012-04-17T14:14:26.162+10:00I never curse so much as when I'm sitting down...I never curse so much as when I'm sitting down at my sewing machine. It is a vindictive little thing that I bought at a garage sale five years ago. It only works with expensive thread and if I say a prayer to the crafting gods beforehand. Despite this I find crafting very relaxing,though my husband would probably disagree.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7649782126359701245.post-648476127807167682012-04-17T11:47:02.105+10:002012-04-17T11:47:02.105+10:00Looks like your on the right path there Mrs A.

Intact I started to croche a rug for my first born and that was 10yrs ago, I realy should learn to finish things but don't have the time and patients maybe when I'm older. Picked up Rohndas book on Sat been enjoying that and Sun I spent a good 3 hrs vaccuming and washing my car with the 3 kids (was long over due and very dirty) nice to drive a clean car again. Love reading your blog too by the way, you make me laugh keep up the good work.

For someone like me who has tried (and failed) numerous times to knit, it looks like a godsend! It's huge! My sister also spins her own yarn so if you're ever in Melbourne.. ;)Beccrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18211578106437404664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7649782126359701245.post-60309377348714769202012-04-16T20:35:50.591+10:002012-04-16T20:35:50.591+10:00Sunday, Sunday... that was yesterday?

His response "I need to get you to Mrs A. She is a lot of things, but a knitter she is not" <br />You can wash his face with it when next you see him:)<br />PS.
