icemaiden May 2016 5:07pm, 21 May 2016 4,633 posts	0 icemaiden It's all about transport museums for the boys with some longish train journeys in between so I'll need my knitting. Looking forward to it I think.

icemaiden May 2016 5:55pm, 21 May 2016 4,634 posts	0 icemaiden Which is better for knitting socks on the move, magic loops, one very small needle or two shortish needles? I usually use dpns. I don't want any wooden or bamboo tips as they break when sat on.
Girlie May 2016 5:57pm, 21 May 2016 10,682 posts	0 Girlie I now use magic loop, but have previously used 2 small circulars. They travel very well- I always have a pair of socks in my bag to do at lunchtime at work.
HellsBells May 2016 6:01pm, 21 May 2016 21,011 posts	0 HellsBells I use one tiny circular - Addi 20cm - I find them very handy
EvilPixie May 2016 7:11pm, 21 May 2016 11,473 posts	0 EvilPixie I use addi too Btw if I had in the region of £100 for a beginner friendly sewing machine what would you go for? Janome are supposed to be good and brother I hear but not singer who I had always thought were the best?!?! And approx how much is a machine service? Mum says I can have her old Jones machine but would it be worth buying new by the time I've had it serviced!?! Not been touched for 30 + years so I assume a service would be a good idea!

Just tried looking for it and I couldn't see it either EP, and when I tried to add a file the other day I realised I hadn't put it in the knitting folder, so although it was on my Dropbox I'm guessing the rest of you wouldn't have been able to see it...
