    Heads up folks, knitting stuff in my Lidls today. Cable needles, double pointed needles 3.0mm only, and some circular knitting needles. Also some sock yarn and other yarns
    Please forgive me if my comments seem abrupt or my questions have obvious answers, I have a mental health condition which affects my ability to see things as others might.

    They also had a sock knitting loom for £2.50.

    would have been rude not to buy it but goodness knows how it works :eek:
  • My friend has been given this lovely Sasha Doll and would love a hand knitted jumper for her. I would love to have a go for her as a surprise (my fingers are itching), trouble is I do not have a pattern.

    Does anyone know where I could get one instantly as I want to start NOW - I have the wool and needles, just need the pattern.

    If not knitted, then anything that would fit a Sasha Doll, as I could either sew or knit her a few outfits for Christmas.

    I am itching to cast on or cut out. Many thanks.

    Many thanks
    Looking forward to the day I have nothing left to list on eBay
