Put the kettle on, make a pot, settle down and 'just do it'. The stuff's all on Amazon and can be delivered to your door.

'Man-knitting' is actually the term for the entangled strands of electric cable, guyline, bungee cord, rope and baler twine on the floor of your garage, all of which are breathlessly awaiting their 'come in handy' moment, which is no doubt just around the corner.
We call it gimp work.
Dunno; I've just knitted a lovely full face mask (in black of course) and a little red wool ball, about the size of a ping-pong ball, attached to wollen ties to secure it in place.
Oh dear, this is going where I didn't expect it to err, go. Too late to edit or get outa her as well.
Too late my dear friend. I believe you may have dropped a bit of a perl.
I already have a hobby - my collection of axes, knives and other sharp things is second to none.
I've had several featured in 'Guns and Ammo' magazine's 'Reader's Knives' section.
You need a lanyard on each, so that they're not accidentally dropped or left at a "CS" before the "I".
Lanyards tend to get a bit slippery when wet, especially woollen ones.
Pinhead, "purl".
Ahaa, rumbled you, sir! I suppose you know the correct spelling of ballet and cooking terms and other 'ladies persuits'.
'Man-knitting' should be an extreme sport.... You have to knit a jumper while being shot with paintballs or while skydiving.
PH, you've got me. One of my favorite "ladies persuits" is the ability to spell.
Would that be a favourite pursuit, Rik? ☺
Ah, BR, that's where the humor comes in. I was mocking PH's spelling.
Put your own house in order first Rikkor... I can understand you being unfamiliar with the word, but its spelt 'humour'...and don't give us any of that colonial crap about changing the spelling, just toe the line, there's a good boy.

Somthing like this, perhaps.
The earlier mention of knitting ordinaire, perl, purl whatever reminds me of the Yorkshire Ripper's unusual use for a sleeveless, vee neck knitted tank top. I'll say no more. Work it outok then, put your legs in the sleeves, and the vee allows 'room to maneouvre'.
Now that's a pearl Renzo!
Not sure whether that was police only info, oh well, he'll be out soon.
So instead of pissing about for years looking for him again, you were planning to look for a suspicious spike in tank-top sales figures next time?
And I'm afraid I still have some questions. The function of the v-neck, I get. The ingeneously unorthodox use of knitwear I understand and could even, potentially, admire the lateral thinking. Not wanting to have your trousers round your ankles...yes, makes sense.
But here's the bit I don't understand...did he really think that he would appear less instantly alarming going around with bare legs and his tackle hanging out of an inverted wooly? If not, then he would have had to also wear a pair of trousers on top, in which case he would have had to remove the trousers anyway, and suddenly the only benefit of the knitwear over a simple t-shirt is, well, an extra layer for snuggy warmth.
So far, it seems to suggest a slightly deranged mind and twisted logic on his part, which perhaps should come as little surprise.
