I wondered that maggie, but as I read the description it sounded as if just the end was curved. The needles I use for box making are almost semicircular.midget wrote:Re the curved needle, it sounds like a Mattress needle, used in heavy non-bendable work. A smaller version is used to assemble an embroidered box, without which noone should call herself an embroiderer.
Angela, you should put all this in a letter to one of the many knitting monthlies - I'm sure you'd get a "Star Letter" prize and/or some knitting goodies, and it would spread the word about the Cove K. & S.G. Go for it!!!Angela Woodford wrote:
I have finished my learning-knitting-basics sampler in ice-cream colours. The one that was hidden behind the slug pellets in the garage for two and a half years? Smothered in the dust of guilt and cobwebs of procrastination?
Resuscitated! Finished! Thanks to the patient advice and skill of the ladies of the Cove Knitting and Spinning Group, it has fringing worked at each end and is about to be posted to my middle daughter as a scarf.
I keep looking at it and marvelling at its wonderfulness. I knitted something!
