Velociraptor Jan 2016 10:24am, 11 Jan 2016 33,295 posts	0 Velociraptor I've just finished a band of stranded colourwork uneventfully, but it was a simple 18-stitch repeat. I can see how the music mitts would be far more challenging. I'm now looking at doing an all-over stranded pattern, but mustn't plan anything until I've ploughed through acres of stocking stitch in the round on my current project.

jabberknit Jan 2016 12:58pm, 11 Jan 2016 659 posts	0 jabberknit Excellent knitting, people, very inspiring, though not tempted to make socks, I suffer from 2nd sock syndrome, once one's done, that's it, never want to do the other one! Skilled woodwork, there Bigleggy. I love woody stuff. My first real job was with Wadkin, at the time a world leader in large scale woodworking machinery. Learned all sorts to do with working with wood and other materials, but have absolutely no ability whatsoever in the practical side of it.
