A wonderful invention, the derailleur....
Knitting on.....
Tension sorted, hopefully.....and hopefully I have enough yarn. It weighs the same as the last pair of mitts I knitted......I like it. So I think I will buy more anyway....mitts need a matching hat!!

Very impressed at the decluttering. We've done a bit but more is needed...
Wonderful invention, yes, adjusting them, a nightmare.
I love mitts.
My brother used to have a collection of derailleurs that he displayed on a shelf like sculpture! (He's a bike guy.)
Of course you need more yarn!
PS Decluttering is wonderful, but clutter is very sneaky, making its way right back in. Here it is a never ending job.
I had to buy some more wool yesterday from our local emporium shop, I just like trying new crochet stitches.
I have a box of vintage derailleurs gong back to the 1950s. Benelux Long Arm Touring anyone? They will never be used again but have nostalgia. The Benelux took me many miles in my youth, touring along the Berkshire/Wiltshire Ridgeway and across Salisbury Plain (I loved "roughstuffing" then and was a member of the Roughstuf Fellowship). Youth Hostelling each night.
Nowadays, aged 83, I convert my ebike derailleurs to twist grip controls, so much easier to change gear, almost a thoughtless exercise.
