Funny you ask, Neil! Since our military jailors were very paraoides
and saw à possible weapon in every needle or scissors we were
obligated to be very clever and invent new forms and new tools. We
made needles of sharped bones (sharpened with spoons since knives were
atrictly forbidden) and we used threads of old blankets to be used as
yarn.
I became à good embroiderer and made large and awful tapestries in
crosspoints and petite point.

Hi Ana, Helen, Kath, Laura,
thanks for all the insights, knitting and crochet (and purl not
perl ;] )
.. Ana, what materials were you working with in jail - fabric and
needles ? more stories please
good news from here, Australian authorities now allow you to travel
with knitting needles in hand luggage (and those really dangerous
nail clippers)
I've seen a few other image to pattern software online but thanks
Helen, not seen knitpro before...
should we start a netbehaviour stitch'n'bitch group ?

I'm a fairly obsessive crocheter. Garments and stuff, playing with
cables, hyperbolic planes. that kind of thing.
Someone mentioned the woolly thoughts site, which is fab. As is
the knitpro app, also mentioned in this thread, and which I plan to
play with in coming months. Ravelry is really the one-stop site
for yarny informational goodness
