Went to my daughter'sd to meet her new baby and took my knitting bag with stuff I had made for baby.  I thought I would come back with less stuff but ended up with the bag full of the yarn that my daughter bought to knit her son a scarf and a "Would you like to finish it?"

Finish it?  All she'd done was taken the paper band off the ball of wool.

Already started it.

My mother knits for my children (her grandchildren) and I knit for myself.... that's our unspoken agreement! And isn't that what grannies are best at.... (but I usually choose the wool, and then post it all the way to Germany!) Jumpers are then posted back.... now there's a few airmiles...

This grannie isn't best at knitting.  I remember knitting a sock for my second husband as he didn't believe I could turn a heel -  that was it - one sock.  Couldn't be faffed doing a second one!

Obviously your talents lie in a different direction, doganjo.

Annie,
I would say that I am not a bad knitter but 4 weeks on and I am still working on the rib for the first sock.  I feel its going to be a long slog but I hope that I manage to get to the second sock.  Which year that will be time will tell

Bionic, you can do it.
