EvilPixie Oct 2017 7:51pm, 15 Oct 2017 12,376 posts	Quote Pin EvilPixie Just been rummaging through a bag of yarn passed to me from Oliver’s ex Must be about £80 + of yarn there including 15-16 balls of natural silk Arun than is super soft! Very exciting
Velociraptor Oct 2017 8:34pm, 15 Oct 2017 37,003 posts	Quote Pin Velociraptor Why wouldn't a pair of handknitted socks cost more than £20? It's at least £8 for a 100g ball of decent sock yarn, and for me it would take at least 20 hours of knitting just to make a very basic pair of socks.

panad Oct 2017 7:41pm, 16 Oct 2017 1,086 posts	Quote Pin panad EP i have cast on bind off, and love it, use it pretty frequently to give suggestions of which cast on bind off to use for a project as well as for the instructions on how to do the different methods. I find the pics very easy to follow, and the spiral binding helps!
