That is so cool! I'm still trying (fairly unsuccessfully) to knit a scarf but when I master those needles I'll give it a go. Maybe a rather long wait though... :oops:

I believe that is crochet rather than knitting and don't even ask. I don't crochet any more )grin2(

I got really excited when I saw that, until I realised it was crochet and I can't crochet. I love knitting daft things though, I'm in the middle of knitting a basket of strawberries :-D If you find a knitting pattern, I'll do you one but I can't come up with anything original without a pattern.

Well, I would have done it far cheaper than Helen, but unfortunately I cant crochet so if you want it it will obviously cost £374, 835.64 as quoted :)
And if you found a knitted version my hubby would probably be far happier with that then he will be with the jumper I am knitting him :-D
