Big needles

It's even too thin to knit on 3.3/4 needles, it's all loose and carpy looking, I thought it would be like the eskimo but no way, its got thin bits like thread in between the eyelash bits and then thicker bits like 4ply and the eyelash bit's are that far apart it's bald and holey, filigree is the right thing to call it ( full of holes )

I was knitting a ipad bag with leftover bits of eyelash yarn and it looks great until you come to the white bit that I did with the filigree. I used it doubled on 8mm needles and it looks terrible but I had no other eyelash left to replace it and i'm not buying a ball for 6 rows. So the bag ended up getting ditched in the back of my material cupboard

I agree penni, it's terrible, I am going to have to go and buy some navy, pink or Lilac in a thin yarn like a three ply or even less to knit with it to fill it out a bit, was thinking of using a 2 ply but only have white and think it would look funny as I bought the gemstone shade. 10 balls of the darn stuff.

It used to be 35 years ago Madelaine, I wonder why we all picked on Friday when a Sunday morning lie in would have been better

I was just as likely to be out on Saturday night as well!

buttons i might have some spare pink 3 ply as we now know my neice's baby will be a boy. i will look and see in the morning

[buttons-and-bows]

Thanks for looking penni pink would be great, I will try a bit with the white I have got to see if the thickness is okay, thats if I can knit tomorrow as I just got scalded on my right hand and all over my eyelid with fat, I was trying to cook an egg and it went berserk it was jumping up in the pan like crazy, looks like it is going to blister

Good morning. Where has the time gone? Been sitting here for an hour with good intentions to write emails. None done. Off to the canteen to make tea and coffee and open the door so the carer can come in quietly. Hope it's going to be nice today. I have washing to hang out. Found another mosquito bite this morning. Why do they always find me? (no need to answer)OK folks, I'll be back later, provided I don't fall asleep
