Telling Yarns

This week I have been given a marvellous commission to Knit a wonderful costume. Where on Earth do I find the time to knit, with painting and helping with the new children's ward. Well a good time is while socialising talking on the phone, chatting with friends over a cup of tea. 

So while knitting the garment the story's that are passed around will get knitted into the piece, thus giving it life.

I have no idea how to read a knitting pattern or write one. I just imagine the finished piece and then knit the shape. I know plain stitch and then create new stitches for different effects.
