Oh, lovely Ninja, THANK YOU!! DS will be very happy Thanks.

He was never much into blankets or stuffies when he was tiny because I was his stuffie and his blankie, he was attached to my boob for just about ever but now he loves blankets and cuddly stuffies and has been asking me to make him a blanket since I started working on Woolly Hugs. But the bobble blanket really appealed to him!

Just one question, how do you do a picot? When you described how to do the trim?

Oh EEEEWWW!!! Clam stock .

How does something that tastes so good sound so vile???

GlaikitFizzog · 01/12/2013 18:22

Tequila And tommy juice is a Bloody Maria here. Tabasco and Worcestershire sauce optional

Well, it's the month in which Christmas happens, not to split hairs or anything :o

So what's your favourite drink then?

I don't much care for tequila normally. And tomato juice by itself is boak-worthy. But Clamato is a completely different story, it really is. Come visit me some time and I'll prove it you :o

GlaikitFizzog · 01/12/2013 19:15

Nope! Nothing on this earth would get me drinking tomato juice! I used to boak just serving it in the bar I worked in!

My favourite is jack Daniels, usually with coke, however recently discovered it's good with apple juice! Toying with warming the juice and chucking a cinnamon stick in seeing as it is the "festive season" [tchgrin] [tchgrin] [tchgrin] [tchgrin] [tchgrin] [tchgrin] [tchgrin] [tchgrin] [tchgrin] [tchgrin] [tchgrin] [tchgrin] [tchgrin] [tchgrin] [tchgrin] [tchgrin] [tchgrin] [tchgrin]

Jacksmania the picot on this blanket (as can also be worked with uk dc) was, sl st in each of next 3 st, in the 4th st: sl st, ch3, sl st and repeat all the way round Smile Both my boys had blankies or mussies and always looked so sweet Hmm dragging them around, the girls were never interested.

it can't be christmas yet, I'm not ready where did that gin go because I'm not touching clam snot [tchgrin]

Jacksmania · 01/12/2013 19:26

Thank you so much, lovely Ninja! I'll look at it properly once I'm sober again tomorrow tropical holiday, it's not my fault, DH keeps feeding me drinks :o

Jacksmania · 01/12/2013 19:28

Glaikit, far be it from me to force anyone to drink anything they hate! Apple juice and Jack Daniels is known as an Apple Jack here. I drank a few of those in my younger days suspects she is a few years older than the lovely GF

Jacksmania · 01/12/2013 19:29

but I'm really immature so hopefully we could still hang out :o

GlaikitFizzog · 01/12/2013 19:37

Don't be so sure jacks! And if you are I can guarantee you are bendier than me! So we are equal!

JollySeriousGiant · 02/12/2013 10:43

Huge coffee consumed. Baby off for a nap. I've a very long list of jobs to do and when I'm finished I can crochet! Toast first though I think.

GetOnYourDancingShoes · 02/12/2013 13:10

Why did I think it was a good idea to knit socks for DS3's partner? (note to self - his height should have given you a clue that he would have enormous feet!)

RatherBeOnThePiste · 02/12/2013 22:02

Oh poor thing Fizzy Sad
