But now I want to become an expert! My first task is going to be learning how to knit cables. Then how to knit pictures, then I’ve promised my flatmate that I’ll knit him a jumper with a wolf on the front.

Absnasm is so freaking happy!
Knit on! You just reminded me that when I asked her what she was going to wear to a wedding we recently attended, my friend D replied “Leggings, and a nice big bobbly jumper with a picture of a koala on the front.”
I have some wool and needles that I don’t use, plus an absolutely hilarious book of bad ‘80s knitwear patterns called (get ready to laugh) Knit Wits, written by erstwhile wordsmith, Countdown presenter, Tory PM and all-round smartarse knobhead Giles Brandreth. You are welcome to the lot if you wish. There’s very likely a wolf jumper in there.

It was scary and funny both at the same time. Doesn’t it have celebrity models like Floella Benjamin and that guy who’s married to Victoria Wood.
I hope your friend wasn’t serious, you can’t go to a wedding in leggings unless it’s a fancy dress wedding and they’re part of your Robin Hood costume.

Maxine gave it me for Christmas and we nearly weed on my parents’ carpet. Yes, all the patterns are modelled by Giles’s celebrity friends, and he proper schmoooozes up to them. “Here’s the gorgeous Bonnie Langford, a fantastic actress and a close personal friend, looking simply purrrfest in this witty feline number.”
I found it! It’s Wit Knits!
Oh. My. God.
I hope you’ve got your legs crossed. Check this out.
Look at Brandreth and… is that… Rula Lenska?! They’re doing The Locomotion!

would love this!
I’ve been slowly introducing him to the internet over the last few days. he was over the moon to find out that he shares his name with the West Midlands regional finalist for Mr Gay UK 2005. It’s quite cute watching his delight at being able to find obsucre records and learning all about Ebay!
