Berrie, Lyra, Oggs and Zeb chat thread

[ProfessorCalculus]

How many threads is this now?

Hoho Dh has no hair to cut..in fact he shaved what he has off for Easter so his head was egg like...

Mmmm it looks rather like a German helmet...not nice but neater I suppose. He really likes sitting there having his hair done He lkes to choose his cool clothes too! is this normal for a five year old boy do you think?

Ooooogs don't leave me tooooo!

I'm here .

Was out all day yesterday, and watching the Doctor Who Easter Special last night (Rustybear very kindly put it on a dvd for me).

Today will be mostly tidying, doing washing, catching up.
Have got computer more or less working so will need to get all my email contact details changed.

What did you think of it?
Shall I have a fringe cut like the Christina character or am I misguided to think I will then have her figure?

Off to the Doctors this morning to see if they can do anything more for my back
Really need to pick some purple sprouting broccoli as it's all wasting. Am avoiding the allotment as I get too miserable thinking about all the things I should have done and can't.
Friend coming over with her 3 boys this afternoon so trying to make the house a tenth as spotless as hers - ha!
Swimming lesson at 4 then dh will come home and be all strange and I will feel miserable and unsafe and there will be another day gone!

Hmmmm... have you had a fringe before? They take ages to grow out.

Sounds like you've got a busy day planned.

Zeb appears to have dropped off the world.

Many many years ago. I seem to remember it was very annoying in my eyes and stuff!

Zeb must have had more time on her hands at work!
Nah not really that busy.

Doctor has reffered me at last...right off to clean the loo.

reffered? eh? You know what I mean

Thankyou for my wool!!

I think you said I had to make the heart some time ago...You are very kind!

House clean ( by my standards anyway) but curiously ds has gone to sleep in his bed and he didn't wake up until 8.30 this morning. I can only assume he is ill. ]

Dh put some rat traps out last night with peanut butter on them. They managed to eat the peanut butter from both traps and only sprung one without catching a rat. Nothing in the friendly trap either.

My pleasure .

Try the heart if you want, but I have just emailed you links to a couple of other patterns based on the same principle, that you might find a bit more interesting and suited to that colour.

The relief pattern is simply created by knitting certain stitches on the purl side of a row, and purling some on the knit side, so as long as you can knit and purl you can do them!

If you need any help at all just shout

Oh, and don't for a minute think that I've forgotten about your promise (now overdue) that you'd join Ravelry when I read the first chapter of Twilight...

Tee hee...I'd forgotton!

Ho ho ho you daft bat...it will have to be the Tardis but it looks rather hard...

No honestly. As long as you can knit and purl... just go stitch by stitch and you'll be fine.
I print out the pattern and cross out each row in pencil as I go along.

In fact, I bought another ball of that yarn with the intention of doing it, so how about we knit it together?

Ok

Hang fire on starting it.

There is an error on one of the rows and I'll change the border to make it more simple.

I'll email it tonight or tomorrow.

What size are your needles? You knit quite tight don't you?

Oh shame...

Oh shame...

Can't find needles but reckon they were 4.5. Not sure how tight I knit!

Er...sorry about that...deleted whole post and got confused which bit I'd lost...it was long and moany though so no loss!

Will try to send revised pattern later today. I'm aking dd and her friend out for the day to a Nat Trust property with a beach so won't be around until this evening.

Hope you have a nice day.

Greetings laydeez!
we're back. Not read thread properly. I did mention Sardinia Oggs, ages ago. I hadn't really mentioned it again because I was so fixated on the new bathroom among other things and didn't really think about it/pack till about 8 hours before we we due to go.
We had a lovely time but it bucketed down for the first two days out of six, so we only had four days of sun on the beach. And more importantly I dropped my iPod in the sea on day three so I was music-less. It's dead. DP says I can have his.

Berrie, whaddayamean Lyraish?
Where's Zeb?

Ahhhh, I feel better now. I've had a big fat dose of Muse. Fabulous. They are my new favourite band of all time. No-one sings like Matthew Bellamy (their lead singer).
I'm also itching to read New Moon for the 2nd/3rd time. I only read selected highlights the second time around. But my set of Anne Rice books has arrived. What to do...

Tee hee...was waiting for that question!
Bit uppity.

Glad that you had a good time. Did dh come with you? What is Sardinia like?
