I resemble that remark.

I do like knitted socks though. Do they get holes less often than the mass produced ones? If so, I'd better start learning to knit. Depends how hard you wear them, you certainly get less seams so less blisters, and they are a lot warmer in winter and a lot cooler in summer. They are indeed, easier ...

I believe both Tattercoats and I have regularly stated that knitted socks are the knitting equivalent of caviar, Moet & Chandon and Green and Blacks chocolate.

Hmmm, there seems to be an awful lot missing from that, especialy with the amount of duplication, theres 19 textile jobs, but surely crochet, knitting and embroidery arent three specialisms, 4 is you count seamstress?

I forgot to add that in my own business, knitwear, I can't keep up and am swamped with orders

Friends of mine on another forum work in the Land Regstry and a solicitors respectively. The latest I have from them is that most of the lower grades in the Land Registry have been offered voluntary redundancies and the the higher skilled / more trained and qualified are now doing their jobs and bas...

From a borrowing point of view, I think they are excellent, as you build up a credit history with them and not Experian. They take a sensible view, only lending small multiples that you can afford to pay back. Yes, absolutely agree, and for small amounts they are invaluable, there's no way a bank w...
