Daft Bat ? Who dear ? Me dear ? No Dear ! LOL:roflhard:
You said you wanted them so you got them lol . I am just glad that they got there safe and were not damamged in the post :roflhard: :roflhard: :roflhard: Because i forgot to put FRAGILE on the packet LMAO
Glad you liked the flowers.

Nik - Sorry to hear about the bump , i am glad that you are ok .

Julie - LOL that vet story is funny , reminds me of when i got caught smoking when i was 13 years old . My Dad sat me down and gave me a lecture and then proceeded to take out a packet of smokes . He took one out and handed it to me ( I think his intention was to make me smoke the whole packet so i would be sick )
Instead of taking it i promptly replied by saying That i did not smoke his brand of fags .
Well needless to say I felt the back of his hand . That was the first and last time my dad hit me .
He actually tells me to this day that he could not believe that i said that . Made him furious lol
The hat is beautiful Julie . Love it :woot:

Hiya Rita

I know I said that I was getting low and needed some lids but I thought you were kidding when you said you’d send me some!:teehee:

Never thought you’d pack 'em and post 'em though!

I’m going to be careful in future - [B][COLOR=Red]very careful [/COLOR][/B][COLOR=Red][COLOR=Black]- what I say I’m getting short of to you. :hiding::oo:

But thank you for the very kind thought and thank you so much for the lovely little hat - it’s great.

Ah well, I’m going to hop downstairs and try to get some knitting done. No walkies for Sam tonight, it’s absolutely persisting down and thundering (no, really, it [I]is[/I] thundering - not me slamming the fridge door again!)

Best Wishes

@Nikkilc

good news i finished another hat while watching Iron Man at cinema
havnet take a picture yet
bad news is a silly old man reversed ino the passenger side of my car as i was driving, my son was in the passenger seat . my son is fine just a bit shook up and very angry.
happened 2 hrs a go
he is beating up his pillow to get rid of the anger. I dont know if any of you have had dealing with Aspergers but its how he deals with an overload of emotion rather then hitting someone.
so tomorrow morning will be spent on phone to innsuance company as it has damaged 2 doors.
got everything crossed my back holds up.
i could so cry right now . my daughters away hiking for the weekend too so just me and my son
dont seem fair somedays. thats 2 hits this yr both not my fault

so hope you all are having a better one then me
Nikki

Sorry to hear about your accident Hope your son feels better soon!

Hi

When Julie wrote earlier this week that she’d been attacked and chased by two amorous beavers on her ‘driveway’ - aka private airstrip - I thought we’d about reached the deepest depths of daftness.

But no, we hadn’t. The postman arrived with a small package this morning and I found this inside it from Rita.

What’s daft about that you might wonder - nothing until you clock what the lovely little flowers are resting on …

HI Ellie
How beautiful goes your garden grow! Nice Flowers very pretty!
:):)

Thanks Julie . I have been trying to rest today . I am feeling a little better .
That hat is just yummy . What kind of yarn are you using ? I just love it

At the rate you are knitting these hats , You will need to send them in a crate instead of an enevlope lol

[Limey]

Hiya Julie

Thanks so much for another lovely hat - (something wrong with me today, everything knitted reminds me of cake or sweets.)

It could be a Walnut Whip or a chocolate Swiss Roll but whatever we choose to call it, it’s absolutely lovely.

I’m going to send you an email about the hats, so please hang on to yours, and it should be with you soon.

[COLOR=Magenta]Thanks very much for all your kind help!

Hi Rita

Sorry you’re not feeling the best, old fruit.

Is that lurgy still lurking? - you sounded awful bunged up last time I spoke to you.

I hope you can manage to shake it off and that you’ll be feeling better soon.

Best Wishes

HiFolks

I went to the hub of the Knitting Universe last week - Morecambe Market - and couldn’t resist stocking up a bit on some new(ish?) varigated yarn.

It seems to be self-patterning, and I’ve put a couple of pix here so that you can see what I’m on about:

The wool is called Magi Knit by James Brett and costs approx £1.90 for 100 gms.

One more for the pot

[ritaw]

Hi Ellie .
What a cute little hat . It is so sweet . But i have to say that i am in love with that magi knit yarn . It looks just devine .
Oh and by the way ! I had a look at your blanket that you are doing and it is so pretty . Nice job Hun
