The Woolly Hugs Woolly Pack is now open!

[KnottyLocks]

Our own virual pub and cosy corner to chat about all things woolly and crafty...and other random woolliness.

It's lovely and warm here, but I have no wool with me actually considered taking some but DH looked at me like I was a madwoman and TBH it wouldn't run through my fingers well, it's quite humid here. So I'm living vicariously through you all.

Stylecraft performs abominably in humid conditions.

I believe our test proved it squeaked did it not?

So there you go, common sense at work:o

Yes, it was squeaky and nasty.

Next year's test will be Rico Creative Cotton :o

New thread to publicise the craft sale is here if anyone would like to help us keep it bumped

As long as we don't have to do fish puns like the running thread

You've cod to be joking

And so it begins

Webchat with Debbie Bliss tomo!

here

And where am I? At work. Booooooooooooo

Lovely Debbie Bliss will be at MNHQ at lunchtime today for a web chat, and to pass on the blankets she is so kindly donating to us. There is a competition on the thread to post pics of knitting and crochet designs before Friday 6th at 10am. Woolly Huggers are THE BEST, be lovely if one of us can win!!

see here!!

Big booooooooooo Knots

I can't think of anything to put on that thread :) Probably because i finish so little!

Popping in for a bit for a cuppa, a warm at the fire and a sneaky packet of Jaffa Cakes Shitty day at work. Need a project on my knees and some time for mind-wandering.....

Teaching DD to crochet. She's making a gift for her friend. Mine's a neat English Gin!

Hello :) I've been practising squares so that I'm ready to start helping out on here... but I've just seen this thread: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/bereavement/a1930773-My-brother-was-murdered-last-night

I don't konw if they would like a wooly hug, but thought I would alert you generous folks

Oh could I also ask which of the blankets are still taking donations? thank you

Welcome aboard, Knit.

As the big Woolly hug blankets go, we're working on one for Superman. I'll post a link when I'm not on the phone.

Anyone for a swift lunchtime "sesh"?

Congratulations Ladies! Great effort this morning

OH YES!

And thanks. Just the next 2 days of it to go......

We are absolutely zorsted!!!

I'd like a squashy arm chair and some sloe gin next to the fire.

I am next to the fire having a slurp... for the next 20 minutes!

Budge up... Room for small one Need a bit of "me time" before feeding the masses. Actually its only me and DS1 at home at the mo, which is really unusual. And quite nice. He is normally lurking in his room or away at college but is being sociable creeping cos he thinks he has accidentally bought a car on EBay and needs help

I raise a glass of Glayva to Pistey, knotty, Debbie Bliss and all the bodies involved in the craft sale.

Cheersm'dears!
