Do you think if someone snogs Tech in the right way, we could get this as a topic that allows pics?

I just pm'd for the current Hug.

Oh go on then, I'll have an americano. Just one shop and lots of room for milk (2 extra jugs of cold, please).

Tech might allow pics if we promise not to snog him (or at least promise not to show anyone those pics.)

Ooh no, never knit and drink, esp if you're doing a complex pattern. i've lost count of the number of carefully crafted items I've had to unravel as I've gone wrong somewhere after a glass or two of wine.

Strangely, I find the same thing happens when I combine complex knitting with Only Connect Grin

Plain knitting only when drinking or thinking is my motto Grin

Are we too early for mince pies/mini stollen bites? I happen to have a box or two if the stollen things stashed away, i highly recommend them.

Oh yes, that will do lovely. I think this weather calls for a mulled cider, but I may end up with a wavy pattern in my next set of squares.

Mulled cider? Mmm that sounds nice, what spices do you use? Saw a recipe for hot sloe gin the other day, I'll be giving that a try over Xmas

hot sloe gin you say, hmm may have to investigate!

fanjodisfunction · 26/11/2013 13:36

hot chocolate with a dash of rum please! (can only drink on here as breast feeding).



(I imagine the bar to be covered in woolly items, all mugs and glasses have a little woolly cozy on them, woolly cushion covers on all the chairs)
