THE FHG SEWING THREAD :-D

[ilove2patch]

As requested, a place for us to ask for help and advice from other stitchers and to show the things we make.
Over to you.:-D

[*hippyfairy*]

Am probably only a glass away from karioke 😉

That will be a baileys later as my wine bottle has sprunged a leak. I think the boys might have had a small glass each too!!

So whats is going to be??

bOHemian rapsody?
Angels?
I will survive?

[*hippyfairy*]

MrH is watching Jools now - all the bits we missed coz we were on the phone/asleep waiting for the phone to ring!!!
Have postponed NYE till the whole family can be together 🙂

[ilove2patch]

Good idea Hippy. Roger Daltrey was brilliant as were most of the other acts.

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

classic karaoke trio there Hippy!

i think you have to do them all!

[*hippyfairy*]

Have just seen the squeeky cats thing - ummmmmmm wonder what goes through peoples heads to come up with that sort of thing??

Loving Seelo Green - brilliant voice.

However I still want to batter smug Jools with the soggy end of his ripped of arm - sorry.

My son has met him a few times as he used to work band transport at Glastonbury and thinks he is a really great guy. I like him too. I would be in bed by 11 on NYE if he wasn't on.:-D

[*hippyfairy*]

Am sure he is lovely.

Guess last night I wasn't in the mood for the whole happy new year nonsense - seemed so false.

Perhaps I need a glass or several to really enjoy it.

[ilove2patch]

Well I did have half a bottle of Southern Comfort! lol

[*hippyfairy*]

You lush Maggie 😉

Right off for a bath and then a large baileys 🙂

Probably be asleep by 9 tonight!!

A neighbour gave me two little bottles of homemade 'stuff' for Christmas. They've got nice printed labels on and one says Raspberry Vodka and the other says Seriously Slow Suffolk Brandy.  I don't know if I dare drink them, they look like cough mixture!:O

[cat-knitter]

Get em drunk CG :^O

I didn't drink either last night ........... but may just start in a bit 😄

[hiddengems2010]

Hmmm no wonder i couldn't find my pen, it is sat on CGrandmas unit 😐

Go on taste it CG tell us what its like 😉

[cat-knitter]

Raspberry Vodka sound rather nice  😄

[hiddengems2010]

It sounds very much like cgrandma ...

........

.........

Tarty :^O  😐

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

they look like they have been made by someone who knows what they are doing

they look nice and clear, and is that a proper wax seal on the small one?

no one goes to that much bother if they dont know what they are doing

[learning2me]

CK (or anyone) can I ask a stupid knitting question?

Trying another cable pattern and it says that on all even rows to
K all Ksts and P all Psts.

Sounds dead simple, but when the stitches are twisted as in cable, I'm having trouble distinguishing.
I know P stitches have a loop at the bottom, but do you have any other advice please?

[cat-knitter]

Merlin, you never said how your knitting was coming along 🙂

[hiddengems2010]

Mags, sorry i have no idea, if its plain cable they will be purl on line 2, 4, 6 etc anyway 😐

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

still tryin with the bamboo ones

i am just practising the same as i was

i dont know i will ever be any good, but i enjoy it:-D

[chickengrandma-2008]

I thought she said they'd made it, but their house isn't called Red House Farm nor is it a picture of their house.  There's a cork inside the wax bit which just pulled out of the bottle, but the other one had to be 'broken' open.

The raspberry one tastes of raspberries 😮 and has a kick (and tastes like cough mixture) and the second one, which I thought would be better because I like brandy, just tastes of sweetness, has a kick (and tastes of cough mixture).  I'll keep it in case of emergency, ie. I run out of wine.;-)
