Erm........... can you look for a recipe that involves knitting the thing up? Or possibly crocheting it?
My mum used to crochet up seams on jumpers she knitted. I don't see why you couldn't use a fine metal hook on the dormice. Maybe just pin it?I don't know. I only found the recipe...A budget is like a speed sign - a LIMIT not a TARGET!!

You could start a dormouse farm, Ming. That's what the Romans did...

You could start a dormouse farm, Ming. That's what the Romans did...May one enquire if you are perchance one of the Mings alter egos? She does not need more ideas she has plenty of her own, She also seems to prefer LARGE edibles, It would take an awful lot of hamsters and meeces to fill the "Only Haunted Freezer in Scotland "She's more the "Accidentally slayed" type, Beeglie and the RV seem to be the only survivors, I found it very interesting when she suddenly abandoned living up the hill and seemed content to post scary pictures of giant straw spiders. At least it wasn't homicide Can you tell I've been rewatching the entire Hil St Blues boxset?pollyxIt is better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness.

Think it started with the Egyptians.It was Terry Pratchetts Unadulterated Cat book with it's no gold bowls or satin ribbons that made me fond of our rescue Mogs.Perhaps Beeglie has watched and learned becoming internet savvy.Mar could be tied up and gagged. Since the emergence of Ming Vase the RV may have plotted with Beeglie, After all Mar used to be highly amused at his Sky box upsets when the snow fell thick and fast,They do say revenge is dish best served cold.She denies keeping Peter Ginn imprisoned and we never solved the Police Dog and handler never seen again after either the last or previous Fence Parties,Perhaps we need to have a cunning plan before Burtha's hen party, Rather unfortunate refers to her husband to be as her Frog,Maybe she needs to rethink that although it's a pet name.pollyxETA Laptop is still playing up. Is it Ming or Beeglie?It is better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness.
