Nothing to apologize for....and I get where your coming from......
 
Hahah knitting doll!? I need to Google what it is.
Otherwise known as dolly bobbin cos they were made from cotton reels with 4 nails hammered in and a face painted on. That's when cotton reels were wooden. Process would be similar to what you have..wind the wool around each pin in turn and make a stitch, pass the tail end through the centre then knit around and around until you have a long narrow tube. Then do with it as you please. Could make good ties for a knitted hat instead of ribbon or cord
 
I bought one that can thread its own needle a couple of months ago. It has saved me hours

Amazing how it does it. Was a bit fiddly the first few times until I got used to it but still easier than trying to get it in manually or using a needle threader.
I've tried to do it slowly to capture the action but it doesn't work then. Got mine in Lidl... my friend pointed it out...took a photo and sent it to me. I was about to say, again, it's an overlocker I'm looking for (they had some I missed - sold out too fast) but spotted "automatic needle threader" on the box. Had me sold...and whilst I wouldn't quite call it "automatic" I'm still thrilled with it. My eldest is going to have my 20+ yrs old New Home one and Janome have kindly sent a PDF of the instructions book....
 
My sister has heard a rumour that they are getting more in October. I didn't think I needed one until I was given one as a Christmas present. Saves hours and the seams look really neat. I rarely make something on which it is not used

Will keep an eye out then. Thanks
 
Have been busy making bunting for the tea tent at our Rotary Dragonboats race. I don't know what it is about it but the cat is fascinated. I have just found him asleep on it.

I was expecting you to say he was playing with it...my friend's cats would be...

Likely it's soft and warm.
