I'll volunteer if i'm there.

 

[Jenerys]

Oh thanks love, I promise to be a good student

 

[toggle]

I'll dig out a pair of my charity ship needles you can have.

 

[gaijingirl]

Toggle is a great teacher.... she taught my friend Dimples who is now a demon knitter!! And we're having a S&B next Wednesday at Choc's house....

I'll pm you the details if you're interested!!

Oh and gaijingirl, I used two scrumptious salad recipes you posted on a thread a while back. Bloody tasty they are girl and carbed up and fat free enough for me to feed to Sigmund this evening

Oh I am pleased! I have just sent you a pm with S&B details.

Yaay, Jen is coming! If we are having new people I think I will make a cake.

Knitting should be good for stopping smoking, it certainly seems to stop me snacking although it has been very bad for my consumption of crap TV. So my bum is a bit smaller but my mind has gone all flabby

 

[zora]

I know it's old news now but: Moose's skirt looks unbelievably amazing!! Wow!

 

[moose]

It's currently looking a bit muddy. Anyway, after weekend spent in the yoghurt-weaving green crafts bit at Glasto, I'm now spinning my own yarn and crocheting Anyone got a sheep?

Wooohooo another spinner I've got loads of sheep, want one?

 

[moose]

If it'll use a litter tray, yes. I haven't got a lawn, though - would astroturf do?

Seroulsy though, I do have loads of fleeces. If you get the urge to have a go from scratch PM me. We sell some of the fleeces at the local farm shop for a tenner.

If you fancy working with somehting a bit cleaner and you're in London this place is fab.

Did you learn on a wheel or a drop spindle?

 

[moose]

A drop spindle for now, although I did have a go on a wheel, so I may get a one if I really get into it. I'm going to start with ready-carded for now, but I'll bear your sheep in mind for later

Just to be a doom-merchant I used to buy merino tops for making felt and stuff but it turns out that the NZ wool trade isn't particularly ethical. I don't know which carded wool you were thinking of buying but thought I'd mention it anyway.

*doom 'n' gloom over *

loop

ps you seen the new issue of knitty ? all boys things... cmon chaps.. you need to come join us for the next meet up!

 

[moose]

Nice site - they seem to stock all sorts of goodies!

About time Knitty did blokes, too - I'm so going to make that satchel, and it might inspire my dad to get the needles out again

 

[ada]

Thanks eme for the knitty link - I always forget to keep track of when their new issues are up. There's a new pattern up at magknits too - just the one, http://www.magknits.com/warm05/patterns/baccarat.htm - but I understand they're going to start publishing monthly soon.

 

[gaijingirl]

oooh that loop shop looks great!!

Nice website too!!

I just finished my little jacket and just have to block and sew it up....

When's the next S&B?

 

[DIMPLES]

When's the next S&B?

Let's have one soon, as I'm too scared to start anything new without expert attention.
I think I've forgotten everything

 

[Ms T]

When's the next S&B?

I was going to suggest having a S&B barbecue round at mine...

Now that's an original idea S&B, BBQ it could catch on

 

[innit]

SnB BBQ sounds great although knowing me I would end up with ketchup all over my knitting

 

[gaijingirl]

S&BBBQ

or "SB3Q" sounds fab!!

I still have your b/day present...

SB3Q!

I will start a separate thread with dates when I have my diary on me.

 

[acechick]

that loop site rocks something awesome!

 

[RubyToogood]

Another stitch and bitch would be great, I feel inadequately stitched and bitched.

 

[passenger]

not wishing to sound chezzy, but, this a nice thread to see again after all the madness

 

[Wolfie]

that knitty site has decided me it's about time I learned to knit

thought I'd announce it now so I actually have to do it or appear shame faced in front of you lot - shout at me if I haven't knitted a hat in a months time!

 

[gaijingirl]

But.. but... aren't you a bloke??

We've been trying to get some blokes along for ages......
