I often get this when I wake up. I thought it was sleep paralysis (but without the scary hallucinations).

Why don’t they just drop the knitting part of the name, change it to yarn crafters or artists, then allow people to choose their own technique for each round?

I used to eat them but started to get slight allergy symptoms each time so I stopped, just in case. Kind of the opposite of desensitising therapy.

It would be life-changing for me to follow the article as I have a nut allergy, though not allergic to pine nuts.

Definitely life-changing if you are allergic to them! (Like me).

I’m waiting for the crochet vs knitting debate to kick off. Slight mutterings so far about references to ‘hook’ and images of crochet in the titles. For the record CROCHET IS NOT A KNITTING TECHNIQUE. It is a separate yarns with its own terminology and techniques.

Not quite the kind of marathon I was expecting/would take part in. I thought it was watching the whole thing, not running!

If you take your hook out and pull, it does. I’ve had to frog a piece and start again a good few times. I use a safety pin if I’m transporting a WIP. A good knot stops it once complete.

I just missed the beginning. I was wondering whether crochet (my craft of choice) would get a look in.

I don’t watch the non-celebrity version. I think it’s too exploitative. The stakes are lower in celebrity version plus I think they are more resilient than the general public, so the psychological fallout would be less. Also, some of them are so funny!

Plus punk is an attitude, not just a music genre. These women are busting out of their conformist roles, railing against establishment of marriage and caring responsibilities.
