Brilliant! And should have been obvious really.
This is how I always used to do itā¦
Whether or not I am still sufficiently flexible remains to be seen.

Here yāgo then, between the 3 you should get some idea. What you canāt see is how incredibly thick & warm it is (though the fact that it makes a size 8 look plump in this photo is a bit of a clue). Thereās 1.2kg of pure wool in there - should be enough to withstand even the Manx winds. I added a close up so you can see the texture, which is what just wouldnāt show properly before.

Iāve just asked him if he can apply that technique to my actual face. A vast improvement, imo, at this age.

PS: TFM, you might want to check your dictionary, under P for āplumpā. Because that aināt it.
Stop it with the face thing, too!

Fer the knitters amongst us, especially those with random bits of wool left over. Tiger Lily Crafts (. co. uk), an small business supplying Haberdashery & interesting wool, has just taken delivery of soft shoe/boot soles.
This means that swippers/Mukluk type thingies can be knitted.
