Pretty, aren't they? I want to make more stuff with those two sets of threads!

So, will we get to see some of the results of your addiction tonight? ;-)

(Oh, and remind me if there's anything you can't eat...)

Not very keen on lentils or similar, I'm afraid- the texture's odd. But it's not like I can't eat them.
I'm very easy to feed!
See you soon.

Oh dear! I have already made a thing with lentils! :-(

(How did you know?? I hardly ever cook with lentils! I dunno, you magic users...)

Never fear, there will be plenty more veg to go round!

Those lentils were great! Maybe it's juat a matter of them being cooked to that sort of consistancy.
It was a fantastic evening generally! Thanks again!

It is nothing less than the truth you speak, m'dear. *nods*

I've been crafting since I was a child. My grandmother indoctrinated me. I didn't really stand any chance---you don't want to know the many and various forms of crafting I've gone through in my life. XD

I don't cross-stitch so much anymore because rather than relax me, it makes me anxious. I keep wanting to go faster and faster while I'm doing it, and my eyes are already terrible as it is. XD;;;

My eyesight has got worse as a direct result of cross-stitching (which reminds me - put some WIP photos up of the map, as I don't think anyone believes me...)

I need to relocate my glasses before I do much more cross stitch. The next project will be on black aida as well, so good visibility is even more important!

Bwahahahahahahahah!

Why do I feel slightly responsible for this???

(And I've been meaning to book myself on a weaving course at the Handweavers Studio, if I can't find one nearer - fancy joining me? Just think - you could make your own yarns to knit and crochet...)

I'm vaguely surprised sollersuk hasn't dropped by to offer to teach me how to use a drop spindle again.... I tried it when little but never really got the hang of it. At this rate, though....

Spinning / weaving... I'm useless. I did mean spinning, btw!

I prefer crochet to knitting because it doesn't matter if the needle falls out and it's virtually impossible to drop a stitch. However, it can be very aggravating when you think you're following an American pattern and it turns out to be an English one. I am currently unpicking a very, very long sampler cardigan!

Erk. Yes, I know that tune. At least crochet's easier to frog!
Are you on Ravelry, BTW? Great site, lots of free patterns- and it's clear if it's an American or English pattern!
