ok as many of you know i do a lot of hand knitting and i am going to approach this subject very carefully as i don't want nittineedles to send me a cyber slap for being a traitor but i have decided to get my knitting machine out of storage............please don't hit me

i have not gone over to the dark side completely i will still be hand knitting but i got my machine years ago used it once decided it was too complicated and put it in the loft. now I'm a bit older and have more patience i think i will give it a go again well i need some new needles for it so ebay.co.uk have about 4000000000000+ different types listed problem is i cannot remember the machine name or number all i know is it is a brother then i think i need a table so today me and Adrian have been to every shop in york 3 times and i have got one from B&Q of all places but it might be too big also needed a stool so again round all the shops and finally settle on one from home bargains which is perfect but is the table too big i have no idea because Adrian has stuffed himself full of Mexican in chiquitoes and is too full to lift it out of the car and honestly after trawling round the shops in sub zero temperatures i now want to scream
