The original premises are getting crowded, we need to expand.

Welcome all women, and well behaved animals.

I've heard there's a magic door in the Bluestocking, & if you walk through it your clothes, no matter how crumpled, magically become pristine again. I think it's past the armoury, down the stairs just beyond the glass-blowing studio, & third door on the left. But I might be wrong.

Could it also make me a stylish size 12, instead of a rather too casual.16?

But you've always been a stylish size 12. When you're at the Bluestocking.

Les fers de repassage ne sont pas allowed in le Bluestocking, ils sont considerés comme repressive, triggering and un mémoir of exactemment what nous essayons d'oublier there for a bit.
Absolument, @MarieDeGournay!

The knitting is easier than it looks - the real skill is in the design, not by me, especially if you like Maths. All I do is follow the pattern.

“Linear Lace is an asymmetrical triangular shawl that incorporates all seven frieze symmetry types, that is, all of the types of symmetries that repeat along a single line.”

Merci pour les cours d'histoire, ifIwerenotanandroid! Still, I bet les chiens were really chuffed quand l'automobile capable de grande vitesse was invented🐶
Surtout les chiens with les oreilles long et floppy 😆

Ben Cur 😂😂😂 Errol!

Oh dear Lord. I had 2 books on Scottish shawl patterns & techniques several Christmasses ago, along with some lovely metallic sheen yarns, because obviously I'd easily replicate a gorgeous one I'd seen on ravelry. Well, not yet I haven't. I get the books out, read them... & put them away again.

I used to do leafy, holey patterns. But I'm scared to try now. Pathetic. Maybe a few chocquoktails will stiffen my resolve. Or send me too sleep, & then I won't care.

ifIwerenotanandroid · 16/09/2024 18:22

Ben Cur - magnifique!😂

JulySheWillFlyAndGiveNoWarningToHerFlight · 16/09/2024 18:24

I could not tricot those patterns after several chocquoktails, mais je would probably pense that je could.

Je pense que tu should essay it. Et pas de unpicking afterwards. It could start a whole new style of knitting. Or you may say, as a friend of mine did, "Never hand-quilt (knit) after a gin & tonic".

I'll be late for my evening drink, me, the bluestocking cat, Colin and Kevin are attending franglais lessons as this thread makes no sense!

Merci beaucoup pour all les mots sur mon tricot.

Je ne need pas les chocquoktails de make me fait plein d’erreurs, malheureusement. .

I've just found a thread which needs input from some of you

The only way to eat a tunnocks teacake http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/amiibeingunreasonable/5166995-the-only-way-to-eat-a-tunnocks-teacake

The right way to eat a Tunnocks is to stuff it in your gob in one go!
All class, me.

ifIwerenotanandroid · 16/09/2024 19:24

The right way is all six, one after the other. Vowing to stop after each one, natch.

I'm not sure I could manage the bigger box in one go, though.

JulySheWillFlyAndGiveNoWarningToHerFlight · 16/09/2024 19:33

I saw a large box of Tunnocks today out in the wild, as it were, not in a shop. Just invitingly placed there, waiting for people to help themselves.
Unfortunately it was in a school boarding house, and the house matron was between it and me.

Boiledbeetle · 16/09/2024 19:34

The franglais lessons are not going well.

Sad face

Désolée.

EdithStourton · 16/09/2024 20:13

Je fait tout le repassage cette après midi, après le promenade avec les chiennes et avant hoovering le salle de lit. Aussi deux loads dans la machine a laver.

Je suis knackered.

Am I le seule person to notice that dans le quatrième image de Beetle avec les femmes qui watch le telly, there seems to be panel discussion at the Bluestocking bar?

@JulySheWillFlyAndGiveNoWarningToHerFlight ton tricot est magnifique.

How did Kev do with franglais? IME, all seagulls can do is squawk. And swear in Seagull like machine-guns ('Guk!' Guk-guk-guk!') before trying to crap on dogs.

Boiledbeetle · 16/09/2024 20:16

@EdithStourton Kevin did better than me! Not by much mind.

(God, we are never going to hear the end of it!!)

And Colin ate his homework before anyone could mark it!

Je suis allée à l'armoury, c'est là où j'ai trouvé une veste sans stab pour la tricote.

Wise dog, Colin.

The FAIL for you and for Kevin, Boiled, seems to be written in an especially aggressive red.

Bannedontherun · 16/09/2024 20:43

Bonjour mon amis. Je arrive from my boat to a franglais’s athon.

Tres amusant, mais je wet my knickers.

J’avis et Bon idea, to avoid les moniteurs (comprende le male noun)

Parlez en franglais, pour le interdict parliance

Et observe le competence of le femme homes a la franglais’s.

Possible an amusement bouche

Une pint of wine sil vous pl’ait.

He is! And yes very agressive use of the red pen.

Now I must get back to my tantrum
