Howtobea… KNIT-WIT

OWN UP. You're a rubbish present buyer, aren't you? Leave it until the last minute, then run to the local Tesco for some inspiration. And what do you end up buying but... socks.

I've got an idea for you. Go radical, and buy a sockknitting kit instead ([pounds sterling]14.99 from Firebox.com).

Designed for novice knitters, it includes wool, needles and patterns to copy. Excitingly, the owner can chose between making kiddie anklets, chunky mukluks for cold weather, or over-the-knee stockings. And, you never know, you may just get some knitted for you -- in revenge.
