PKP – Prime Knitting Position – generally on the right-hand side of the carriage, facing forward in a 4 seat bay, window seat. Alternatively on the left-hand side, facing backwards in a window seat. I prefer to travel facing forward.
Knitting Lifeline – I came across this tip on a webpage (Crazy Aunt Purl) and it works wonders although I dont know if the effect was physical or psychological! When knitting lace and you’re worried about having to reverse-knit at any time, when you get to a point where you know the pattern is correct, using a needle and thread, place a length of yarn through the stitches on the needle before you knit the next row (don’t remove the stitches from the needle though!), so that if you do make an error further on, you only have to reverse knit back to where the lifeline is. Cool eh? Works a treat!

Second Sock Syndrome – Is a serious affliction which affects sock knitters to the extent that after finishing the first sock – they are unable to complete the second sock to make a pair. Laura has an idea of how to cure it! If you’re really desperately suffering….you can try this!
