Is it just me?? Or is this a real pain to knit with?? I bought a few balls when it came out thinking it'd be lovely to make cushions, scarfs etc with. I can tolerate it for so long then it drives me potty!
I'm on my last ball now, (each time I must forget how awful it is to knit with) and I thought I'd make a scarf using a loom rather than knitting. I did well about 15cm then couldn't take it anymore (won't say how long that took  ). So AGAIN i'm doing the main part of the scarf in plain yarn and I'll finish the other end in Fizz...grr!
Moan over...

Hi Liz
I haven't tried Fizz but I did have a similar experience with Sirdar Snowflake DK a while ago.
It was so soft and seemed very popular I thought I would make myself a jumper to see how it turned out, thinking if it was good my son, who finds all wool yarn itchy, might like it. Well, like you with the Fizz, I hated knitting with it. I usually wizz through knitting but it took me ages because I found it so horrid to knit with.
The end result was lovely and soft but I have never used it again.
