I take it she's not around. Anyone else fancy having a go?

Peter what on earth made you google 'knitted digestive system'?

I have seen a knitted digestive system and know someone who uses it in teaching sessions.

I didn't. I was looking for advice on a knitting forum because I'm having trouble sewing together the jumper I've knitted. This was in one of the other threads

That just made me larf

There are some right weirdos on knitting forums

PC, do you really knit or is this some in joke I don't know!


I knit all the time so if you really need help just ask

Yes, I really knit. I've been knitting for the past 15 years or so and my knitting is pretty good, even if I do say so myself. Where I fall down is on the sewing up stage. I'm going to try backstitch on this one since I've never tried it before. Cross everything!

i dont know what to say...i can just visualise all you lot sitting knitting ....

Oh, and the one I'm trying to stitch together is this one:

If you have problems with the making up, have you tried pinning it out first? I must admit I usually don't bother but it does help to set the sleeves right.
I tend to use backstitch when making up but use cotton for the sewing rather than the yarn I've used for the knitting as it can be too bulky.


That pattern looks like it was interesting to knit.
I've never attempted a digestive system though!!

Peter Cat, I know you can be much more individual than that carp. Sorry.

That sounds so random....

You should see them on the chicken breeders forums....

It took me till now to realise that

  I've actually got this pattern   I peruaded my mum to start knitting a digestive system a couple of years ago.  She started on the small intestine, but got very bored after it got to a couple of feet long, so she turned it into a string of sausages and knitted a couple of fried eggs to go with it, and then knitted me a John McCririck     Olly kindly offered to knit the digestive sytem when she realised how disappointed I was that my mum gave up, but I wasn't quite sure what I would do with it when it was finished


But this is my mum's latest knitting project - the Growly family will look stunning when we go out to Tesco's.

Oh.my.God.

Would you like my mum to knit a  nice nekkid suit for you as well Karma? 

As tempting as it sounds, I wouldn't want to put her to any trouble or owt so I'll respectfully pass

I'm still waiting on my next project

Can;t see the pic of your mum;s latest work of art

Oh and PC have you tried knitting the seams together. .I found that worked great for me when I used to knit many moons ago. .or crochet the seams if you can crochet..  tis like normal knitting you just make sure the lead needle goes thru the seam then wrap the wool around, do a plain knit stitch thru the seam then cast off each one as you get the seam together.. dunno if I made that sound complicated... I am trying to picture how I did it in my head and it's not working properly today

it does make a nice neat seam tho..

Does the digestive system have knitted sprouts going through it?

hahaha

I think they have already been expelled Blizzie 

I think Growly does have knotted sprouts too amongst her collection of knitted foods

btw I saw you on the suggested FB friends list.. sent you a request. .dunno if you binned it but thought I'd prod you about it anyway

Olly!

I've just been and seen and accepted, of course

I rarely go on there and have a few requests from peeps I don't know if I know, if you know what I mean.
At least you told me who you are.

haha. .I kinda have to say who I am as tis not really obvious from my name . .

I don't do much on there other than click things here and there or play a bit of poker now and then

I wish everyone would realise that!

I have one request from someone who tells me that they are the nephew of two people that I've never heard of!

I only joined FB, when we were on the channel 4 forum and I was in constant danger of expulsion. I thought it would be a good idea to have a back-up plan.
