Bust sounds good but I’m probably well over the hill in their eyes, nice socks too!

The founder and editor of Bust is Debbie Stoller of Stitch n’ Bitch fame. I used to buy Bust when I lived at home, but it’s kinda pricey here and, like you, I think I’m not as young and trendy as its target audience is.

I remember one of my old issues of Bust had a pattern for knitted legwarmers. That would have been 6 or 7 years ago.

You know, if you’ve a store which sells it, you might pick up some “gluten flour” - it’s essentially just wheat gluten from flour, but you can add a tablespoon or two to wholemeal flour to give you a stronger flour. It might help with the machine.

The other thing is that wholemeal flour absorbs water a bit differently & also builds its gluten more slowly, so if you’ve an option to give it a longer rise time that might help.
