I can't do them, and decided not to even try! far too technical for me
I have learnt that as I learn something new, something old gets pushed out of my brain and I dare not risk the amount of brain space that these things take up.
Oh, and they get tangled in the hoover too....

They are easy once you get the hang of them, we got DS some a couple of days ago and he's struggling so I'm sat there making them for him - makes a change to actually enjoy doing something with him, bit more girlie than usual!
