the fog has gone

I've never tried bamboo needles, but I'm thinking of trying them, so interested to read your comment Merlin.

Hello everybody.  I've had two lots of visitors today, one lot with about an hour's warning and one lot with no warning at all!  We'd already been out to take birthday presents, I just long for a day with nowhere to go and no one arriving.  It won't be tomorrow as grandson is coming to escape 25 little girls at his sister's party.  Maybe Monday?..................

I've never tried bamboo needles, I've got plastic and metal, I think I prefer the plastic as they are lighter and quieter.

[****merlin*****]

i am in candlight, so no bulbs on:-(

i keep creepin about switching things on and off again:^O

i keep scowling at the fishes

but its not them either!

learning, please dont go by my experience

everyone else seems to love them

unless of course you are like me and have an all out freaky at the thought of eating from a wooden spoon:^O

THEN you can go by my judgement!

[hiddengems2010]

Yer cable is looking goods Mags, well done 😄

mug snugglers ?:| is that incase you throw one at hubby, lessens the thud 😉

Merlin it isnt anything to do with the fish tank airer/filter controler is it, my filter box vibrates sometimes & can be sooo annoying.

Evening

I love my bamboo needles - much better for my odgy wrists. Am waiting on some new ones coming as I've an idea I want to try.

Its been the most rollercoaster of emotions for the past 48 hours. NYE was spent awake and very sober and awaiting a phone call. Anyhow things are much improved and the NHS have worked miracles.

So I've been on the wine tongiht - am fuzzy headed and loveing it 🙂

[ilove2patch]

Glad things have worked out Hippy.:-) Enjoy your wine.

I only ever use the bamboo needles now. The oil in your skin makes them shiny & smooth with use.:-)

[*hippyfairy*]

Thanks Maggie

Yep I notice now if I have to use my plastic needles - they feel strange and as for the metal ones they may end up as Merlin plant sticks 😉 !!!

[****merlin*****]

(((((((((((((hippys fuzzy wine head))))))))))))))

can we persuade you onto the karaoke? or have you not had THAT much yet?:^O

[ilove2patch]

I was singing along with the Jools Holland show last night. It was really good.:-)
