COLD DARK ROOM

[JoesMum]

I'm retreating to a corner to cut daughter's blue-tack out of my hair (she was that bored today, after a week of no school)

Pulling it out would be Ow! Ow! Ouch! Cutting it out is probably the only sensible way

I'm gonna look for more eggs today because I plan on putting new mulch down in most of the enclosure this afternoon.
(If the back lets me)

play it safe, can't change out body parts like a bike :/

Gorgeous colors, Bea!

Should keep you really warm this winter. Which must be really handy in Louisiana

HAHAHA!!! My thoughts exactly, but it was just so beautiful I HAD to make it!!! If it's too warm for me, my youngest sister and her family live way up in Montana where it is WAAAAAAYYYY too cold for me! I can send it to her.
But it is 100% wool, and one of my friends tells me it's not nearly so hot as the acrylic yarns. Here's hoping!

Looks most splendid.
I learned to crochet from my gran, and how to knit, too.
I still have my knitting needles and crochet hooks, but have forgotten how to do it, long ago.

WOW! I don't know of many men who knit or crochet, but more are getting into it. You were ahead of your time!

Oh dear. You still look a bit peely wally. (A hat tip to John.) Not that I can see in the dark, of course.

Just scoffed lots of cheese.
Better now.

Good luck.
A girlfriend once put chewing gum in my hair (and not head hair) as a joke.
It involved a lot of shaving and i was not amused.
I hate chewing gum.

Fair play.
I'm on a day off also.

I knitted a scarf for my action man and some nice blankets for his bed that I made.
My nan knitted him blue y-fronts with white piping and I had a washing line for his clothes in Action man camp.
My mates were horrified.

My great grandfather was good at knitting according to my Mum. She said he knitted a lot.

My Mum used to teach needlecrafts (sewing, tailoring, tatting, embroidery, etc) in adult education. She knits constantly and doesn't need patterns. She has been knitting sweaters for a charity that supports children in Chernobyl, Russia - at their request she knits to fit teenagers. People give her the wool. She's been doing this since 2001 and tells me the one she's sewing together at this moment will be number 1287.

We've just done some maths.

At an average of around 12oz of wool per sweater she has knit up roughly... 69 stones (438kg, 968lb, 220 sheep) of wool
