Colinette order

I'm caving in & joining the knitting craze.

Would anyone would like to join in with a Colinette order? Let me know here (comments are screened, in case it's for a present).

ETA: Paypal works, as does cash if I'm likely to see you. Cheques get forgotten about. I'll order on Friday 9th - a week tomorrow.

How did this knitting craze start?! It's slowly creeping across my friendslist, so much so that I'm tempted to give it a go myself. Of course, I haven't knitted since I was about 8, and can barely remember one end of a knitting needle from the other...

I don't know how it started! [livejournal.com profile] claire_wain learned, as did [livejournal.com profile] the_xtina; they infected [livejournal.com profile] nannyo and she's passed the virus on to me...

I sort of know how to knit, insofar as I can cast on & off, and do knit & purl, but I'm hazy about increasing & decreasing, and remember a habit of dropping stitches. I do know that chunky wool on big friendly needles is easier than old lady wool and skinny needles though :)
