I find tights really uncomfortable & claustrophobic!

[notgrumpyreally]

When I was little my mum always dressed me in wooly tights, matching jumper and a short skirt. Sometimes I had a bolero to match the skirt. Nothing's changed really!

[twishy123]

If you cut eye holes in them and maybe one for ya mouth you will find them less claustrophobic Maggie....

I have yet to find a pair of tights that fit... the manufactrures        people wot make them   seem to think that  if your legs are on the chunky side you must also be 8 ft tall.

I wore tights for Imogens Christening, the last time before that was to a wedding about 2 yrs before, I have skirts  but can't remember when I last wore one of them  ............ I'm going to the theatre tonight & I'll be wearing trousers & socks

Afternoon all.  

I last wore tights for Steph and Graham's wedding in September.  Can't remember the time before that when I wore tights.  I'm a trousers and socks person as well.

Love the picture PCC.  It's really good.

See its not just me then  LOL  

The flowers were done on my embroidery machine , takes over an hour to sew out !

[captainbovine]

lovely flowers PCC.

I haven't worn tights for years, I do have a skirt but I don't think I can get in it now....trousers and socks for me too! I love the lady's socks in all the shades and patterns but they only go up to size 8 and I've got size 9 hooves!!!!!!!

[bitsnknots]

I got socks from Grace for my birthday last year.  They're lovely.  In fact, they were a pack of three pairs and I am wearing a stripey pair at the moment.  Blimey CB, size 9 hooves!!  Normally, I can get away with size 6 but for trainers, I always get size 7.

I've made a draught excluder tonight.....

Okay,okay.....I know it's not that exciting but I had to make an inner out of waterproof material AND an outer sleeve and sew it an' all that..........

Yaaay me...

[bitsnknots]

Clever you Twishy.  Are you going to post a photo of your draught excluder please?

[twishy123]

It's just a long sausage of stuffed material.....nothing exciting ...

[chickengrandma-2008]

It depends how long it is.     And how wide. 

[twishy123]

It's 42 inches long and 11 inches in circumference..........

[chickengrandma-2008]

That's just showing off!  

[twishy123]

It's got a big gap to fill...........

[cat-knitter]

I think some things are best just left to the imagination

[bitsnknots]

[twishy123]
