Knitting

[maltrab]

Knitting seems to be a big part of my growing up, with many of the mums, aunts, grannies all knitting away, yet I don't recall any knitting taking place in the show, or did I miss it

Did Sybil knit?

Yes sybil in Getting Sam Home was a knitter. Nora knit Compo a hat in Crums and either Marina or Cleggy knit Howard a cardigan for xmas in Merry Christmas Father Christmas but didn't actually see the last two

Your namesake must have been a knitter because she recognised that the cardigan in Merry Christmas Father Christmas was hand knitted. I don't recall if Ivy was a knitter.

Would this be the right thread for a 'knit one, pearl one' reference

To be fair it was so badly knitted I think it was a given that it was done by hand. I don't recall Ivy, Nora or Edie having mentioned knitting but Glenda did knit a jump for Barry that he wasn't keen on.

As I said on Adrian's post Glanda knitted Barry a jumper.

In A Tale Of Two Sweaters I'm sure both the tank tops Howard had were hand knit?

As Pearl mention the same earlier but we did not see them being knitted

Pearl mentioned Merry Christmas Father Christmas not sure if she meant A Tale of Two Sweaters tho?

 

[Barrychuckle]

.. but as you said we definitely didn't see them being knitted, but it was inferred that they were bought.

In Merry Christmas Father Christmas Clegg hands Howard a parcel from Marina which is the hand knitted cardigan.

If we're only looking for scenes of people knitting I can only remember the one with Sybil. I'm sure Roger will correct me if I'm wrong.

Talking of Roger, I've not seen him on here for some time which is very unlike him. Hopefully he's okay

Last on Feb 9th, that is a long time for him.

My mother was a serial knitter. The clicky clacky sound of knitting needles in the evening was ever present. Two of my sisters still knit clothes for their grand kids.
