EvilPixie 21 Nov 4:04pm, 21 Nov 2024 59,467 posts	0 EvilPixie Thank you! I’m not going to do the pattern section so I can reduce the number of stitches cast on without worrying about that! Now I just need to do it!
jelly 24 Nov 10:41am, 24 Nov 2024 6,845 posts	0 jelly Oh dear 8 weeks away from home, that’s a problem for most normal people with jobs!
Raemondo 24 Nov 10:48am, 24 Nov 2024 12,277 posts	0 Raemondo Yeah, that was the main thing that put me off, jelly. Also I wasn't sure if I'd be eligible, and hate the thought of being on TV. But mostly the up to 8 weeks away from home and work. My dear friend, and incredibly talented fibre artist and retired teacher, Kate, would have been a perfect candidate, if only she hadn't died a couple of years ago.
Meglet 24 Nov 10:59am, 24 Nov 2024 25,308 posts	0 Meglet 8 weeks of filming with time away from home. I read that as more like the bake-off filming schedule of (I assume) consecutive weekends.
Meglet 24 Nov 11:00am, 24 Nov 2024 25,309 posts	0 Meglet But it’s still a big commitment and I’m not sure how they get around the time it takes to knit things!
HellsBells 24 Nov 11:42am, 24 Nov 2024 34,878 posts	0 HellsBells It’s not for me, I want to spend my crafting time making things I want and which make me happy not being stressed, pressured and competitive.
