I thought that you might be interested in a letter from the Daily Telegraph, Mon 26 June.
--------------------------------------------------------- SIR -
Sports knitting equipment requirements: a TV, a remote controller, comfy chair, needles, pattern and wool.
Techniques: football - look up only when commentator sounds excited. tennis - two rows per change of end., stitches between point and next serve. racing - listen for "Under Orders".
Score (for my granddaughter) so far: one jumper, two hats, one penguin complete with winter wardrobe, one cardigan unfinished from last winter and half a mini blue whale.
Result: a nice sit-down for a change, and Wimbledon is yet to come.
:-D
