There is irony in me starting this second thread for you lovely Blanket Makers, as I'm the least crafty person, but I'm doing it to help Pidj Smile

DISASTER

fuckarsetitwankcuntbollocks

I had a whole ball of wool earmarked for edging and I've lost it

Please can someone grab one for tomorrow?

KnottyLocks · 01/07/2011 19:24

Grab what? Ball of wool? Or something else?

Because I have a ball spare if that's what you're on about.

KnottyLocks · 01/07/2011 19:24

Tis pink and girly.

purplepidjin · 01/07/2011 19:29

Just 2 blankets' worth of ends to do! Yay!

It's sunny this side of Southampton Water too! Waiting for DP to get out of the shower girl then we'll leave. It's about an hour and 5 minutes from here Smile

PurplePidjIdiot forgot her phone! Nearly there

KnottyLocks · 02/07/2011 19:01

Roll Call!

How very very wonderful to meet you all. You are all gorgeous!

And I...
I was very well behaved. No, really. Grin

I'll get pics of the blankets to you, as soon as I get myself organised. That is way harder than organising others.

KnottyLocks · 02/07/2011 19:32

Pidj, the blankets were absolutely stunning. You did the most amazing job. [BigFatSparklyStarOnAStarOnAStick]

I wish I'd been able to go :(
Glad you all had a lovely time.

purplepidjin · 02/07/2011 21:15

Whydo, be here on Weds 13th at about half ten - knittingrocks and I are going to work on some teddies Grin

whydobirdssuddenlyappear · 02/07/2011 21:24

Hmm, maybe we need to move the venue then? How would they like a lesson in clicker training a rabbit??? to do it for me because i don't have a clue

whydobirdssuddenlyappear · 02/07/2011 21:34

Haha! I've got a book about rabbit training - if I can find it, would you like it?

whydobirdssuddenlyappear · 02/07/2011 21:39

Seriously though, dcs keep me stupidly busy with their social lives twitch so don't move the venue on my account, because chances are I wouldn't be able to go anyway. If you need more teddies, feel free to send me the pattern though. Have lots and lots of nice colours of acrylic dk, and a maHOOSIVE box of stuffing...

whydobirdssuddenlyappear · 02/07/2011 21:40

just realised that looked like I didn't mean it about the book - I did. If I can find it.
Confusion caused by the fact that wine may have been taken Blush

purplepidjin · 02/07/2011 21:45

Yes please, will swap for wool for teds if you like?

I had two glasses at lunchtime, have been feeling light-headed and silly all day! Might have to finish the bottle in the fridge though...

Purplepidjin Glad the squares arrived . Sorry they took so long. What do we say about snail mail. Should have squirted them down the phone to you. !!
