Just to digress from practical tips a bit. These shots were taken in Leuven, 20 km away from Brussels, and can possibly account for the strangest display of local crafswork I've ever seen. :D Everything was wrapped and attired in knitwear: ... trees, fences, bicycles, litter bins ... ... and ...

Love knitting do it all the time, I am knitting scarves for the kids lacy floppy ones which they love. and cardies and jumpers for the babies in the family and friends. Its a great passtime
I wish i knew how to knit, my grandmother tried to teach me when i was small, but we were always on the go with sports, so i never really tried.....looking back now, i wish i had sat still for her lessons.
