I say, are there any women here?

<sigh>

I can see all my evenings being taken up for a while...

Mind you, I do bugger all else, just watch telly, so it's no great loss...

A mongoose would have to have a little snake with it, to do battle with. Were you thinking of Riki Tiki Tavi?

Yes miss.

Archer, seeing as your knitting everyone wooley things for winter, Idris would like a little jumper because grandmother Gromit, doesn't understand that leaving the window open in his room = a very tired hamster.

 

[Chuffy]

Patrick would like a knitted postman's outfit.

If you like ferrets, you should find a book of stories by Saki (H H Munro), and read 'Shredni Vashtar' a story about an Edwardian boy with an evil aunt, who acquires a ferret which does him a rather gruesome favour one day..

As Arch is into knitting, I think she should keep it cycling related & of use to the men of the forum. She could be knitting them willie-warmers for the colder months, so they can keep cycling through arctic blasts ... after all, let's be honset, she's likely to do be able to knit more than sufficient from a single 50g ball of doubleknit

Spangly willy warmer please Arch. Its for a homeless honest.

 

[punkypossum]

NOOOO!!! I can see this going back to the possum nipple warmers and g-string from Arch's previous knitting thread! Another merkin debate is on the way, I can feel it!

My Daughter. HANDS OFF !!!!

 

[Arch]

Right. So.

It's a ferret for Punky, a mongoose for Chuffy, a sweater for Idris (and I look forward to watching Gromit try to put it on him...).

This may take a while. But I will get there...

Willy warmers. Oh. My. God. The sad thing is, I have a pattern for baby mittens (no thumb, just a sort of total hand covering) which would do, if I just knitted them longer...

if I just knitted them longer...

you may not need to......
