new thread...again!!

hoooow abooooout this oooone?

oh bugger - I'm not even on my mobile!!

Cracking name change nooooomooooooore

Gilly - You are good at this aren't you

OMG!!! MIL and her partner are having a big barney along the hall from me, and I am trapped in my room - don't know what to do

ps have got my kniting book from the library (are we all working from the same one - Baby Knits for Beginners by Debbie Bliss??) but no needles or wool yet - am going to go shopping for some tomorrow lunchtime.

ready - repeat verbatim what's going on of course

or play scrabble..

Oh no. I feel left out, my book is in storage (what a nit!!) so I am doing basic knitting - scarves only, and also with a knitting needle stuck in as I still cannot successfully cast-off!

The barney was about her asking about something that came in the post and him wondering why she needs to know

get thee to a library ready

NOT BABY RELATED!!

Thought I would share these with you all, I quite fancy them - what do you all think??

those would be really useful, i reckon. i can never find a good mid-heel black boot - I have several that are way to high, making me look like a tranny or totally flat, riding boot style.

i did some real life shopping today, which cheered me up. my two friends here have a vintage clothing shop and i snaffled up a long black aquascutum coat with gold buttons, an audrey-esque black 50's cocktail dress with jet beading, a green heavy silk, heavily beaded 50's cocktail dress, a charles jourdan black suede and gold leather bag and some massive heart-shaped gold bamboo earrings.

all totally not sensible, especially for up-the-duffdom, but like lighting up a fag at the bus stop, i am hoping pointless purchases like these may make it happen . . . (that's my excuse and i'm sticking to it)

need a name change suggestion - Terrifying Juice???

TerrifyingJuice (yeah!!) - talk to Nomore about Audrey Hepburn - she is our Audrey
Sounds like you bagged yourself some quality vintage finds today - I adore the fashions of the 40s and 50s - the cinched in waists and the decadence - for me Grace Kelly is the quintessential fashion icon

... oh yeah, and I am with you on the boots. I have been hunting for a pair like that for ages! I am 5'5" so need a boost in the height department. But my stiletto heel knee length boots that I love to wear with thick winter skirts are no good for a days shopping - I am hoping these will still look feminine with skirts

Ready I like the boots, I have some very similar ones but without the detail at the top. I think it is finally getting cold enough the start wearing them now. I am useless at casting on and off too so I guess my children will be dressed in bonnets with needles sticking out until my MIL comes to the rescue.

TJ so about your shopping spree, I hope it makes you feel better, shopping and going to the hairdresser always does for me. I like the suggested name change - go for it.

Audrey and Grace do it for me but I wish I had a slighter waist - maybe I should do more Pilates

Chinese herbs arrived yesterday so started on them straight away. Got a peak on the CB monitor this am!!! No highs straight to peak, and the BDing seems to be going well up to now!!

I haven?t got the book and need some wool! Are we going to knit the same thing and then compare?

well I'll be starting from the beginning with the knitting

(why did I change my name to something so silly - it's just taken me 3 attempts to log in!!)

Morning all - sorry for my short absence however, I had my head down the loo - seem to have picked up that stomach bug that was going around.. althought my stupid brain is saying "could be early monring sickness" - god I am losing the plot!

Love the boots ready and very jealous of the vintage shopping TJ..

Now who is going to explain how I change my name... also I need some name ideas..

p.s. my knitting book has arrived and I ordered some wool on the net the other day so I'm waiting for that to come but I have my needles and I'm raring to go! I was thinking of making the lovely cardigan with the moss stich edging.. do you think it's a bit ambitious!?!

p.p.s how is everyone else who has been feeing sick?

toomuchtimehaunting?

toomuchtimeschreeching?

toogoulish?

Nomore if when you log in you select the choice to leave you logged in then you don;t have to retype your name every time

oo I like the haunting one - now how do I change it?

Super ambitious toomuch - but go for it!!

PMSL at the thought of some of our offspring (me and gilly )wandering around with knitting needles protruding from cardigans and hats

gilly that would work if I wasn't posting from different pc's
toomuch I am starting with the scarf at the beginning! I have my wool and needles now

Thought I would aim high

I have no delusions regarding my knitting skills!! I told BF that I'd make something for godson, but it will be in size 18-24 months as that's how long it will take me to make it (he's 9 months at the mo!)

What are you aiming to make?
