I like the fur bit but not the elasticated bottom part, would ride up and be irritating

spacemonkey · 13/10/2004 12:57

the warehouse one is nice but the river island one is truly ghastly

peacocks one isn't bad!

hc, go to camper.com and the code is 45557 003, in direct search box

bundle · 13/10/2004 13:11

not exactly an investment buy, cod, more a fashion item

there was a lovely tie around your shoulders thing on gmtv the other morning, a sort of furry stole attached to pink satin that you tied in front. nicer than it sounds.....

that really would HAVE to be nicer than it sounds Bundle

Planning on knitting anything this season?

bundle · 13/10/2004 13:16

suzy i am mostly knitting for my well-dressed girls these days mainly because i hate how long grown-up things take. just finished dd2's bob rowan tanktop in a delightful raspberry ripple effect yarn. you tempted?

puddle · 13/10/2004 13:18

Bundle - I have my eye on those boots too. I adore camper stuff and my current pair of boots have just expired....(three years old and still universally admired)

hoxtonchick · 13/10/2004 13:19

are they the 45556 ones bundle? fabulous.

my jigsaw ones are a bit more delicate & have laces around the top. they're the boots in this picture, but you can't seem them that well.

bundle · 13/10/2004 13:20

puddle, how much are they, it doesn't say on the website (about £100 i assume). there is the other option, Clarks, the cheapo woman's Camper...

hoxtonchick · 13/10/2004 13:20

they're 172 euros i think. clark's had some v. similar ones for about 70 quid

suzywong · 13/10/2004 13:21

oh yes I would love to get knitting but for some weird reason only knitted one thing for DS1 and couldn't get the neck opening right so never bothered again

Maybe it 's a flashback to when my mother knitted me two trousers suits in the mid seventies, one blue and green and white and the other sparkly lavender. I do not wish to inflict a similar torture on my FBs

spacemonkey · 13/10/2004 13:22

suzy, i bet you knitted ds a sweep puppet didn't you

bundle · 13/10/2004 13:22

hc, not those, the ones with the leather tie things round your actual leg

yours look nice

hoxtonchick · 13/10/2004 13:25

ok, found them now, i was being dim. they're lovely. get yourself to the camper shop in covent garden!

puddle · 13/10/2004 13:25

Bundle I never think to look in Clarks any good? I have no uidea how much those boots are and am loathe to destroy my fantasy by finding out (new kitchen to pay for imminently)

suzywong · 13/10/2004 13:25

Sm are you refering to the line
"oh no. Don't buy him one. I'll knit him one'

bundle · 13/10/2004 13:25

i used to be crap at finishing and doing necks etc but have now got so many bloody books showing you how, i'm getting better. me & my sister had lime green (!) matching dresses (not knitted) with high necks and sheer sleeves. i'm sure my mum thought we looked fabulous..it was the 70s after all

spacemonkey · 13/10/2004 13:25

I am indeed madame

suzywong · 13/10/2004 13:27

DH has just given me a very quizzical look as to why I am gurning and snorting, SM. Then I told him it was you
He sends warm regards btw

anyway back to the coveted boots

bundle · 13/10/2004 13:27

puddle, clarks getting better & better, good value too.

suzy i could send you a copy of the bob tanktop it's in all seasons cotton, v quick to knit and bonus obviously of having no sleeves..

hc i'm tempted, but we have a gordon-brown-like prudence chez nous just now, dh would definitely notice

suzywong · 13/10/2004 13:30

thanks bundle but do you think it would suit eihter of my boys?
