Chickywiggle good luck on reading all the discworld books . My sons have those but they won't part with them i just asked. His actual response was i'd sooner go shopping naked in asda than give up my books . Think that was a no then. lol He got quite a few as gifts but did get a couple of job lots really cheap on ebay.


Louise that really is beautiful. I'd love to do one just like it.

lol thanks for asking him tho

ohhhhhhhhh that is AMAZING and made me more determined to do one, hope my ebay sales go well next weekend then I can treat myself, can't believe how expensive it is just for the cloth!!

I sense a bidding war for the ones on ebay.... race you.....


on a diffferent note I have decided Discworld is my next set of books to tackle so if anyone wants to get rid of any.....am fed up of read it swap it at the mo no-ones accepting any of my swaps!!!! If anyone has any of the series (apparently there are now 30+ ARGGG that'll take me a few years) and would like to check out my RISI account (I have the shopaholic set to go on at some point if you wanted them) or if you can do em at postage cost let me knowwww PLEAASSSEEE
(I have tried freegle too but no luck there yet).

Emzy your parcel is in the post this morning.

Ahh but you have your DS as an excuse.... Having an afghan lay where ever is just going to look odd for a 29 year old couple,
unfortunately I can't see a way of having one and it not look odd....I keep trying to think of what I could make it into so it would look ok
