I loved the fabric Souk and bought 3 of the traditional red and white men's headscarves for about £10 in beautiful cotton. So, am I turning Arabian?. No! I am going to cut them up into cotton hearts for Christmas.

oh you could bring them home and sell them, my boys and their friends all seem to be wearing those at the moment. Ds2 keeps getting into trouble for stealing DS1s - ive had to put one on the chirstmas list for him to stop arguments.

almost finished the back of christmas jumper BUT thinknig tis going to have to have contrasting sleeves as im in danger of running out of wool:eek:

hugs and good wishes to all who need/want them

just been to the remembrance service at the local school, it was so moving, their houses are named after local soldiers who died in the great war, the house captains all said something about their soldier. 900 students in the hall an i never heard a single voice out of place.

F1 glad the patterns arrived safely

love the bunny hat
and it looks like however you trim the 1D hat it we be a success we all have different views.

Im sure I can hear everyones needles clicking from here and of course the swish swish of Roamins knitting machine

Good to read such nice posts of good things happening, we all sound a bit more upbeat at the mo, and long may it last :T

I have nearly finished a scarflette that I spotted on a blog, very simple and quite cute, obviously now looking through my stash to find nice yarn to make more :rotfl: Just popping out to Tosco's and the cs for a mooch while I have me time -OH gone for the day ....aaaah peace. Want to wait for the postman first as DS sends parcels here and forgets to tell me but I dont mind, he did some shopping for me yesterday as I wasnt too good, bad bad random period, will be very happy when they stop properley.

Hugs to all ginny

chalky - you sound really happy we are both so pleased for you and just reading your posts can tell how much you are enjoying yourselves...nice to know you are keeping your head down and behaving yourself :rotfl:;) only joking enjoy every minute xx Love the spice markets it's the smell you get first from a distance then the sight of all the baskets/sacks full of spice all different colours mmmm lovely a real feast for the eyes

ginny - a scarflette hmmm whats one of those may I ask

jean - gorgeous hats...I think any one of the various sugestions would work, love the rabbit one

mrs-m - what a lovely idea and the service sounds really touching


We have been out all day doing the last of the Christmas shopping, I needed to get to the £ shop for 2 more balls of the chunky yarn,for the 2nd cardi for DGD2.

Yesterday DS2/DIL and DGS took me out for lunch and OH took me out for lunch today both were yummy... I can see some serious dieting will be needed

wonder whats happened to ISOM ? hope you are well and just lurking
Off to make a cuppa OH said he's dehydrating !!!:)
Love to all Ax

ever since the school set up the house system and used local soldiers names the sales of poppies has rocketed this year they sold 4 boxes!

the students are very proud of 'their' soldiers and there is a corridor in the school with any information that has been found out about them. any that have surviving family members have been really touched by this and support the school (some have visited or sent mementos in for the students). its lovely that the soldiers are included in history and English lessons and it makes it seem more real and personal to the students. Those heroes will never be forgotten in our town

Pippa, a scarflette is a short scarf with a slit in so one end goes through the slit and it sits niftily round your neck, loads of patterns on ravelry but I have a simple one I can pop on here tomorrow. It takes 50gms of aran on number 8's and knits up in a jiffy.

I was upstairs this morning when I heard a brass band playing and congregation singing Abide with me - I wondered why there was a coach outside the house, they were having a Remembrance ceremony in the cemetary at the back of our house.

I have more snowpeeps, Thank you so much Jean xxx Will get on with them tomorrow.
