THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!! xxxxx

No Fiesta?

Soupy 😎

Soupy are you relieved or saddened by that?

I'm sure the cat will be! 😂

Time to add it in Soupy?

Just a thought.

There's always a cheeky frisson of excitement when someone mistakes bright pink for fiesta. Just sayin

actually the other way round offs!!

I am deeply saddened by the fact that there is no Fiesta. I have lots spare (unsurprisingly). Sadly the shock of it was too much for Poor
Blind Cat and he actually died of a heart attack in July.

I do have two new cats now and, as they are black, they should show of the Fiesta quite well.

Ooooo new cats to startle!! 😃

1/135!

This stunning Chernoyl project blanket is from the wonderful MadisonAvenue. She and it are glorious!

Thank you so much! xxx

Ahhh you got it!

I'm surprised that any blankets using Fiesta get through airport security. It's practically a chemical weapon.

wow, those first two got us off with a bang!
Beautiful work there Madison
Soup - hopefully your 2 new cats are as photogenic and have your old cats love of fiesta ...
Plodding on with squares here , in between lots of other stuff over Christmas . On with #7 atm . Am on babysitting duties today - poorly DGS , so hoping to be able to sit and get through some crochet, depending on him. If he is still not good, he will be happy to snuggle and I can get some done . If he's feeling a bit better, I may have to try and play top trumps at the same time .
Happy hooking !

Morning all

KnottyAndPistey did you get my PM?

Thanks book!
I hope your little grandson is soon feeling much better! How long until your holiday?

Morning just Going to get on with joining my Snug so I can do some squares for this too.

So many lovely colours....

hello!
Madison - next Sunday!

DGS was much better yesterday, was arguing with DD that he would prefer to stay at home today - but I did get some crochet done while he watched a cartoon at lunchtime ( bad Grandma .....)

Glad he's better book

Just did a quick sort out while DS was in the bath and have 6 or 7 colours that match Chernobyl so ready to go!

Glad he’s better book. Sounds very much like my youngest at that age We now laugh about when he was 7 and I had The Call one Friday asking me to collect him as he’d said he felt ill. I arrived at school at the same time as his best friend’s mom and we found them both sitting in the reception waiting for us. They were both as right as rain but had obviously hatched a plan to both get out of school early and have a long weekend!

Hi! First post in Woolly Hugs although I've been around for a while. Planning to knit some squares. Usually I make projects where size doesn't matter so exactly, will need to make a tension swatch and work out how many stitches to cast on for a 12 inch square...

welcome viccat :)
I knit pretty much to tension, and I do 31 stitches for a 6" square , and 62 stitches for a 12" square - some textures make it pull in a bit , so you may need to adjust as you go along. Its always better for the constructors if you do it a tweak smaller - we can always manage to wrangle them in :)

Welcome viccat
