She says...* size 10 needes, and two colours of the cheapest, thinnest wire you can fnd.
* cast on 4 stitches holding both colors of wire together
* work in stockinette 7 rows
* work in color 1 across row and cast on 4 more stitches
* work 3 rows in color 1
* work 1 purl row holding both colors together
* use needle to make spring shape of arm with one color, work one row with both colors held together
* use nedle to make spring shape of arm with other color, cast off 3 stitches at this shoulder
* work rest of row
* cast off 3 stitches at this shoulder
* work head with both strands held together - 6 rows
* pick up and knit other leg same as the first, do not actually join wires
* add electronic bits (I bought a cheap flashy led kit from Maplins)
I hope that makes sense to you, because it means nothing to me!
