Ladies and GentlemenI present to you one scarf, modelled by the lovely Bamgee.
25 stitches at one end and 25 stitches at the other.
Knitted by my own fair hand.
Ta da indeed.

New Hobby
(Carlsberg fans will be glad to know that she has reclaimed her place on the bed, a sure sign that she is feeling better. So she should be after 2 injections of antibiotics.)
I have a new hobby. Or rather, I have reactivated an old one, but I hope that, 30 years on, I will be better at it.
Here is a picture of my first attempt at knitting. You will see that I started with 5 stitches at point A, and then seemed to think every thread was a stitch, until my scarf for teddy doubled its size (B). Mum probably pointed out to me that you don't split the wool, and so my scarf went on a diet (point C) before becoming some kind of fraying giant, at which point I gave up (point D)
.
So, here I am, embarking on another scarf. I started with 25 stitches and so far (into my 2nd ball now) I still have 25 stitches.
Are you impressed?
