Sorry to get this to you so late, boys … knitting needles ready? Then we’ll begin:

Truth is, I’ve been through quite a journey to even find this lady … the Swedish lady knitter I’ve never posted I tried to thirty minutes ago and she’s disabled embedding so that’s her gone.

So I started going through all these knitting vlogs and discovered so many horrors … yes, dear reader, I bullsh you not … horrors! Now I never had this with crocheters … they seem to be more upmarket in the gentility stakes. The crocheter I used to go to was Daisy but in this one, she put herself in the vlogframe and it … er … cough … did not seem appropriate for our male heavy readership.

So I started looking at knitters. The number with bones through the nose, multicoloured wokeleft hair and all sorts hanging off their faces was offputting … one even seemed mutilated.

Eventually, the only one I could sit through was this lady above … no offputting head extensions, nor offputting noise (“music”) plus the English accent was quite different to the flood of American and European knitters.

Now, there were one or two men knitters … possibly quite acceptable chaps for the ladies, not knocking them, but it didn’t float my boat, nor I think … our readers.

So it was by no means straightforward.

10 minutes later … checked out this lady … was puzzled by her calling it Fall instead of Autumn … nothing on her profile page but there was a (she/her pronoun … oh dear no) … there was also an Instagram link … it’s not Victoria at all bt Wiktoria … no idea where from. Poland?

Hmmmm, sounds a bit Essex at times, sometimes Aussie (“wanna”), think she’s eastern European because of the name and also the good RP quite often … the ESL teachers do try to linguistically get students as close to RP as they can.
