This Killing Time is Killing Me

[steel_bonnet]

An excess of time has led me to realise that I need to pick up a new hobby.

I fence, I ride, I drink, I read books, I shoot things, I watch a lot of films, I fling arrows, I hit my mates in fields and I spend a weekend a month down in Toon at school but they all require either other people being present or being in specific places at specific times

Nothing wrong with knitting.

I believe they're hiring at the Shreddies factory.

[sera_squeak]

I am, unfortunately, not as fast as those factory-based old ladies.

[blu_matt]

They do indeed seem supremely efficient.

[sera_squeak]

I quite liked Shreddies before I realised they were made of yarn.

I fully expected this reply from someone as there seems to be a surprising amount of knitters on my f-list.

However I have little use for jumpers, have a scarf and any historical kit I get from an expert knitter.

Viola de Gamba has always caught my eye but noise, expense and time precludes it.

[sera_squeak]

Yup, it would be very noisy and expensive indeed. but fun, I'm sure!

ps knitting isn't just jumpers and scarves. we can do socks too

And hats! I made a Firefly Jayne hat for Gary which is very cunning. Also blankets, though I find crochet better for blankets. There you go, you could learn to crochet! ;)

There's nothing better than a crochet granny square blanket!
