"All I want for Xmas is a dinosaur scarf"

[florenceuk]

So says DS. When I expressed doubt as to availability, he said, "Just write it in the letter to Father Xmas." Any ideas - mail order not really an option at this stage!

Giraffe, thanks! Will contact you.

BTW when DS has an urge to play with sticky tape, I give him one of those sticky tape dispensers where you pull out one piece at a time. Limits the amount of sticky tape he can stick at any one time, as when the strip runs out, that's it. Also no long bits dangling everywhere and no demands for scissors. Those mini-post-its are also very popular (steal those from work!)

Giraffe....i might need a dinosaur scarf too!! I will pay for it.

Please.

Not before Christmas, though!

I can progress from being the (Fair isle, NQC ) hat queen to the scarf queen!

Anyone who wants a dinosaur scarf CAT me, but there will be NO dinosaur scarves done before xmas.

Are you going to fairisle a dinosaur scarf? Or intarsia?

(I would make a textured dinosaur scarf, except that would be very very hard. I owe DS1 a rocket hat, but that's a lot more feasible.)

I'll fairisle it, don't really like intarsia. And fairisle is warmer anyway.

I know this feeling.

Dst both asked for lightsabres for Christmas, they were duly bought and are awaiting wrapping.

Then the other day we were talking about Santa and dst2 piped up "Santa's going to bring me a lightsaver and a space shuttle."

Oh.

I have been frantically searching for one since, they had one from ELC that didn't last and there seems to be the only place that sells them! I hope the space station they were already getting is good enough!
