Gentlemen, if this deplorable situation is set to escalate any further, I suggest brandy and cigars in the Billiard Room.
Can I bring my knitting?

That's odd, Roger. I always saw you as a crocheting man.

You misheard. Crotchety old man, might have been the expression used.
Nostalgia is not what it used to be. 😟

Don't put words in my post, Peeps. I would never call Roger a 'crotchety old man'!

You haven't met him. He's not Val Doonican, you know.

Vulch you will be pleased to hear that I persevered with my knitting and already have 11 inches done of the scarf.  :)
People will come from strange lands to hear me speak my words of wisdom. They will ask me the secret of life and I will tell them. Then maybe I'll finish off with a song. The Nomad

Not a blister just a bit sore. You know how you go "in, over, through and off" - well, I use my left finger to push the needle through to help stop extra loops falling off the end.

Have you tried holding all the stitches on the left-hand needle except the one you're about to 'off'? This should save you have to push anything.

As a matter of interest, what size needles, what ply wool?

Did someone call?

Actually, I really do think this has to stop now. Unless anyone can knit me a new St Johnstone scarf... ?
I apologise, in advance.
