Hi everyone

A late post from me been tearing my hair out trying to sort out some wool for the Russian hat, I need an eyelash sort for the front and a DK marl for the back to go with a camel coloured coat, anyone help!!

:hello: to our many newbies/lurkers who have come out etc., welcome all, but you do realise insanity is compulsary.

Tea tonight was a Cod Mornay for me, and Sausages for DH with Mash, Carrots, Parsnips and Brocolli, followed by Raspberry & Apple pie, when I have room for it.

Not ventured out, we have no need, so it seems pointless to risk life, limb and car for no real reason, though I may be getting cabin fever soon.

Off to watch the goggle box, if we can find something interesting, while I do some more knitting, using some pink marl ribbon wool to make scarf, mitts and hat for DGt Neice as it is nice and soft, and she does not like "itchy" things.

Take care DG

Ah pastry is a doddle with a food processor 8 oz of plain flour, 2oz veg fat 2oz butter, whizz until like breadcrumbs, add water or a beaten egg to bind and voila perfect pastry
