Not sure if NI gets the same offers as the ROI LIdls - if so, you might be in luck cos I've noticed we sometimes get them a few weeks later. But I will have to talk to myself very sternly about not buying wool that I don't need!:)

Well if you see any, will you send me a message and let me know? I'm very rarely in Lidl, so I probably wouldn't see if it someone didn't tell me it was there. Thanks :-)

OH has now decided he wants me to knit him a pair of boot socks, any ideas for what wool to use????? I will have to look on 'tinternet for a pattern.

Have almost finished a pair of joseph socks using wool I have left over from DD2 and DGD's socks.....

I will be at lidl next week, that wool will knit 2 pairs of socks at £2.99 thats not bad, will see if my quilting burget will stretch to 3 bags..........

Does anyone know where I could find a pattern of a bus - got a nephew who is mad about them and would like to put on on the winter hats and scarfs I knit for him, so size doesn't matter I can adjust it

Thanks

Hi, I went out yesterday to buy my circular needles but could only find 80cm ones and my pattern asks for 40cm. Will this make a difference? Will I still be able to use them or am I better off trying to find some 40cm ones?

What is it you are knitting? If it is something circular/ in the round, the circumference of the piece must be larger than the length of the needle, so yes it will matter.

If you are using magic loop technique, a shawl or using it to pick up stitches, then extra length is a benefit in my opinion.

I can highly recommend knit pro needles - you get a number of tips, then a number of cords in a set - so you can mix and match. To start with I just got the tips and cords seperatly and added to it each time i needed something else. Now I can do most combinations and use them all the time, even for straight knitting. There are a number of sellers in the UK. The tips come in metal, wood or acrylic and are all interchangeable.

It's a jumper I'm doing. Its the first time I've used circular needles so don't really know what I'm doing lol!
