At Prick Your Finger we have so much on that when we actually want to sit down to some knitting, space is a little thin on the ground. If using a knitting machine the problem is made much worse by protruding tension wires and a cumbersome bed of hundreds of needles...a thing better NOT seen and only heard muffled from behind a door. On Tuesday the 18th of November I was sent to knit in the cupboard out the back with nothing but the hoover or ironing board for company and with my suggestions of possible tea breaks met with little optimism. Feeling a little lonely and Harry Potter-esk I hatched a plan on Tuesday night for a bid for freedom and baked a batch of flapjacks with a secret but delicious layer of apple in the middle. 16:15, Wednesday the 19th of November and my brain being a little yarn crazy I opened the door a fraction and made mention of my bargaining tool. Unable to resist Rachael and Celia insisted on my release and even offered stretching advice. If you ever get trapped in knitting confinement, be it physically behind a door or mentally imprisoned by your misbehaving stitches I recommend baked goods as an excellent problem solver!

This is hilarious!
I am very excited by your machiavellian employment of baked goods as 'a bargaining tool.'
I wonder how many things in this life can be bartered for using the allure of cookies/cakes/pies etc.?
'I'll give you one of these fine pies if you will only release me from the cupboard' etc.
