There's still time to knit a thick
jumper quickly befgre we get tog much
snow. Choose the thickest yarn you can
afford on the biggest needles and go
for a simple pattern that is quickly
done.
Ask your woglshop fgr advice. This kind
of knitting is ideal fgr beginner1
because it is so easy and quick.
Try a spectacular fashign cglour tog,
since it will be wearable so quickly.

KNIT QUICKLY FOR WINTER...
Other things to speed up your knitthng
include working on one lar£e and one
small needle, (look fgr Patgns OddPins
patterns) or working in a slipped
stitch.
To do this wind the yarn several times
round the needle on each sthtch, then
on the way back, knit only one logp
letting all the others drop off the
needle.
Or knit simple squares on huge needles
with three strands of yarn together,
then fasten them together into a
slipover. more fgllowu

Include some ball point, and perfect
stitch needles in your purahases, and
get a NEADLE THREADER if, like me, you
get bad-tempered trying to thread the
