    I think it was cast on 20 stitches and then just knit until it's long enough :)

    Well I bought 2x Money Boxes as presents.. very MSE.. but they are really cute.. there woman with dangley feet.. shame my mum was with me when I spotted them as I would of given her one! They cost me £4.99 each.. but look way more expensive!QUOTE]

    I know this is very cheeky, but may I ask where these can be bought from? All year I have been bleating onto my friends and family about how great money saving is, so to actually give them a money saving gift would be brilliant!

    Thanks!

    Queen Bess.. sure, it's a local wholesale shop called ESK in Eastbourne (Sussex). No chainstore I'm afraid. My mum might be going back.. she should pick you some up.. but they would need posting and though not heavy with the new Postage rules I think they would add to much £ to be worth it?

    I want to make up some hampers for Christmas (in due course!) and am wondering where is the best place to buy cellophane to wrap them in?

    Thanks for that! Shame they're not in a chainstore, but worth keeping a look out in similar shops!
