    Hello - I'm a bit of a lurker (does that mean I have stalking qualities???)
    I have recently started knitting again after a short break of 22 years!
    I am a reasonably good knitter, but need refreshing in some areas.
    I have just knitted my dd a lovely cabled hat in aran wool and would love to do the same hat but in some chunky wool I already have.

    Would this be possible?

    I would do a tension piece as I think it might come out slightly smaller x

    I'm in the same boat. I think you should definitely visit YouTube. There are thousand of videos on pretty much every single technique and tons of advice -and it is all FREE! :T

    I don't know if you realised but some of the 'Knit & Stitch' magazine patterns are available on their web site.

    These are lovely. I love handmade presents and girls love to have things which are "unique" and "bespoke".:)
