[quote Shannith]@Softpebbles at drunk ordering. I drunk bought a share in a racehorse once so I'm very careful nowadays. [/quote]
@Shannith 😂

@Squiz81 thank you! I absolutely love this even my DH likes it...the pattern is by Blue Sky Fibers here? I knitted the exact colourway and I bought all the yarn from Tribe Yarns as a kit as I participated in a KAL here. They have other colour ways and I'm deeply tempted by another version! It wasn't cheap but I love it and learned a lot about colourwork and got to chat to the designer of whom I am a big fan. Have just signed up for another KAL

[quote Sooverthemill]@SirSidneyRuffDiamond very happy to be your knitting buddy if you want. I’m so happy that I’ve picked up my needles after a long break. If you DM I’m happy to recommend some resources which might help as techniques have changed so much.
@IvorCutler yes it’s dreadful and Sézane are just deleting all opposition to their position on social media. I’ve been shocked by some people I was ‘friends’ with who think it doesn’t matter. To me it does x[/quote]
That would be great @Sooverthemill. I'll try and work out how to dm you 👍🏻

@SirSidneyRuffDiamond yiu just 'message poster' on this post

@Sooverthemill
I'm on the app and can't see a message tab. . I'll look on the main site.

@Sooverthemill 👍🏻. Got your dm and have replied

Not been on here since before Christmas. Loving all the knitwear.
Actually put a dress on for the first time the other day.

Dress Vila
Top?
Tights Snag 💕
Boots Converse

Will use this inspiration to wear something photo worthy tomorrow!

Black tube skirt, black M&S cashmere jumper, black tights, black Ecco boots and a big soft orange Toast scarf.

Denim dress Vinted a whole £5 for a £49 dress that was unworn with tags still on. Quite pleased with that! Determined not to revert back to jeans

That's a great dress @Justonedayatatime11

I must have had this thread in my brain as I nipped into a charity shop or two (I can't help myself) today. Inspired by everyone's lovely dresses @OublietteBravo and @Justonedayatatime11

Blue one is whistles
Brown one is Jaqueline something and was £1
Shoes were a bit of a find - Boden

Also gilet is mulberry and jeans are Levi's

And because it's really difficult not to buy things when everything is £2 and shoes £3

Top - John rocha
Trousers - oasis
Nikes - I bought these with DD in mind as she's nearly the same size shoes as me but... in your face DD. I love them.

They remind me of a pair of LA Gear high tops I had as a teenager (showing my age) which were almost my favourite shoes ever, beaten only by my pink wallabies and purple kickers.

Haha @Shannith love your trainers! Sucks to DD!

Thanks for replying, I’ve just purchased the pattern . I look forward to seeing the next colour you do…!

I haven’t caught up with today’s posts yet. Busy day at work.

OMG better not tell my aunt about your charity shop bargains @Shannith you're definitely close to taking her 👑 as charity shop queen!

I think this dress should go I doesn't thrill me in anyway! Tried it with a nice cheery red polo and realised that needs to go as well as doesn't really work!

@Shannith what a collection of absolute steals!
@Sooverthemill another great pair of shoes. Impressive knitting skills too!

Managed to drag myself up and out this morning so can I join in again please? 🙂

Jumpsuit - Thought (current sale)
Cardigan - old Zara
Trainers - old Puma

@Sickoffamilydrama I LOVE the dress with the red polo neck!

Love that jumpsuit @EnoBaby

Thanks @Squiz81 let me know how you get on. It will be a while before I do another one as I have about 6 other projects lined up with the yarn all purchased!

I’m a long time lurker on these threads. Not sure I’ll ever be brave enough to post pics but just wanted to say thank you all those who do post for the inspiration!

Fantastic bargains there @Shannith. Lovely jumpsuit @EnoBaby. I like the dress and red polo neck @Sickoffamilydrama. Top and cardigan Hobbs, skirt jigsaw.
