That is very kind of you, but after about 3 semi-successful attempts I decided that really I liked knitting by hand and I offered it on freecycle to a woman who knew all about how to use it and promised to get good use out of it!

It knitted beautifully, but I tried it for one of The Boss' jumpers and even with the extension it couldn't cope with 160 stitches across; I tried it on smaller jumpers and either the yarn was too uneven (Collinette) or the ribbing was too ridiculously fiddly to do ...

I know, I'm a big Give Up Girl, aren't I?!
