Ah, I wondered too re DARVO.
Nothing to do with this fella then

Dammit! Callistemon I saw you got there first!
That’ll teach me not to comment as I go along and not RTFT 🙄

When my mom was a little girl she French knitted (using the cotton reel method) a harness for her guinea pig

Do all you miserable old crones know how to do i-cord knitting? The result is similar to the tubes you got from the knitting Nancy, and they are handy for trims and ties.

Basically, you cast on a few stitches (5 is usual, but you can do more or fewer depending on how thick you want the cord) onto a double pointed needle. Knit as usual, then push the stitches to the other end of the needle, and bring the live yarn from the end of the row to the beginning of the next - you sort of wrap it round the stitches and pull it tight, then knit that row. Repeat until you've got the right length and cast off.

You can knit i-cords directly onto garments or blankets - google i-cord cast-off/bind-off to see how - it's also easy to do, but more complicated to explain in words instead of photos or video.

Hello DD, at this ungodly hour. 👋

Hello, fellow insomniac!

Why does a Guinea pig need a harness ?

Oh no! Not another dilemma!
Tossing and turning here beset by the philosophical problems raised on this thread. Bad enough when it got to crochet - but now Guinea pigs?
Another question - if the temperature has gone up 10 o -(iPad says it’s 8C) why am I freezing ?

Oh Doodledog. I PMSL, you are funny. My husband wondered why I burst out laughing. I love being a miserable old crone, just so descriptive and just, well, bloody amusing.

What wool do you make dishcloths from, or do you use thick cotton? Just assuming it is probably cotton but not sure. Now I will go into my junk room and find some scraps!

White string would be fine. You could even dip dye it colours of the 🌈 ! Oh, the excitement of it all for little old me.

I once made doilies in the 70s, cut rounds of ecru curtain lining and crocheted around the edges with ecru embroidery thread. Not something thé homies would be interested in doing of course.

Thanks for that- not sure if we have it here but probably we do. There are a lot of old granny knitters here 🐓-that’s meant to be a mangy old chook.

Some people really are wringing every last drop out of this thread!!

Why does a Guinea pig need a harness ?

It didn’t!
It was evidence that little girls are frequently at a loss about what to make with their French knitting!

It’s 1 Week Old Today! 🥳

Dishcloths can go on forever, though in our house the dog runs off with them to chew!

Fabulous Blossoming. We grannies know where the magic power really lies. Knitting, sewing, crochet and the power of herbs. Of yes and The Look/

Silly picture didn't load earlier.

If it has now morphed into a discussion of cotton dishcloths , things are looking up.
Basically it seemed to me like a disingenuous attempt to make a personal point by pretending it was anything to do with a point of principle.

If it was also designed to start a rammy, that was successful too.

Who needs a season of goodwill anyway?

Here's a self-portrait on a dishcloth. The scope for creativity in crone crochet groups is infinite. Actually, this one was probably made in a nana knitting group - many of us are bicraftual.

I’m inspired!

Watch this space….

I shall download that photo and take it to my craft group tomorrow.

"Here's one I made earlier"
They're all going to be very impressed.

I couldn’t possibly use it Doodledog. Has to be framed and hung in pride of place in the kitchen.

Is it made from shredded wheat squares Doodledog?😂
I’m one of the nanas that sits and crochets those for a cereal company.
