Knitting is fun, I'm just TERRIBLY slow at it and then I get bored. A REALLY good book (where this pattern came from) is 'Big Knitting' by Sophie Britten, though I have to say SOME of her instructions were a tadge unclear, and I only knew what she meant because I know a bit about it, and her estimation of the amount of wool needed, certainly in this one, was grossly out and I had to buy more. BUT, it is still a really good book as you use huge needles and thick or fluffy wool and the stuff grows so darned quick!
