Sometimes it’s the challenge of the pattern as well. Looks interesting but you end up giving it away once you have achieved it.

Knitted this many years ago. Liked the idea rather than finished garment and rarely wore it. How often does that happen. #knitsky #knitting

A free NHS Scotland, or a United Kingdom. Choose one, because you can't have both (regardless of who's in charge in Westminster).

A blue EveryDoctor graphic titled “Voices of the NHS” displays the quote "As a retired nurse I stand firmly behind NHS staff and patients. I believe the NHS must be publicly owned and run, and free to all who need it. The creeping privatisation we’re all witnessing must be opposed. People before profit. We’re so lucky to have the NHS and it must be protected." from an Endorser. The bottom text reads, “Join us. Sign the EveryDoctor Charter.”

Farage has resorted to threatening to sue people who talk about his Stamp Duty avoidance via his girlfriend suddenly finding £885,000 out of thin air to buy a house.

Let’s keep talking about it, he can’t get away with his corruption & threats will not work!

Echoing others feelings about scarf knitting. Shorter or chunky scarfs are better. #showmeyourknits
First one is an old favourite, knitted with noro yarn, fun to knit. The second one is with a silk yarn, fiddly to knit and it’s too small. One day I’ll find a use for it 🧶 #knitsky #knitting
