It’s a knit and natter kind of episode today Purple People, as we unravel the words and phrases that are woven throughout the world of knitting. 



We’ll unstitch the mystery of what frogs have to do with knitting mistakes, how a lawyer’s wig pulled the wool over our eyes, what stitches and sticks have in common and Susie advises Gyles to avoid knitted underwear as she is certain it will cause him shivviness - the feeling of roughness caused by a new undergarment.

Gyles reads ‘Requiescat’ by Oscar Wilde 



Tread lightly, she is near

Under the snow,

Speak gently, she can hear

The daisies grow.



All her bright golden hair

Tarnished with rust,

She that was young and fair

Fallen to dust.



Lily-like, white as snow,

She hardly knew

She was a woman, so

Sweetly she grew.



Coffin-board, heavy stone,

Lie on her breast,

I vex my heart alone,

She is at rest.



Peace, Peace, she cannot hear

Lyre or sonnet,

All my life's buried here,

Heap earth upon it.
