My grandmother knitted me one of those for my 21st... It was a beautiful thing. I passed it onto the kid so who knows what happened to it...
I use interchangeable bamboo needles, a second hand set from TM, they are wonderful tools. Gentle on the hands and light to work with. I am on attempt number six, and I think I am starting to get it. After each row I push the piece of paper with the 'destructions' up to hide the previous row and that is making it easier to keep rows organised. My other challenge is making sure a few stray mohair fibres do not fool me into thinking they are a stitch when they aren't... And here was me thinking a seven stitch pattern row wouldn't be that hard...
Going to roast my huge P&S bargain chook for dinner this afternoon with all the trimmings, meals for days, so I should get a lot of knitting done with leftovers all set in the fridge. And her feline self will be pleased, she likes a bit of fresh roasted chicken!
Four sections done without an error, only eight more to go, lol!
