Love the bag Isobel! Did you get the pattern from the book “Simple Knits for Sophisticated Living”? Hope you bring it to the next meet-up to show it off - I’d love to see it.

Strong views and funnily enough I agree with all of them. Religion should be kept privately to peoples homes like smoking is now! I absolutely object to these little adjendas that are foisted upon innocent people and I have lots of examples within a certain religion. Most religions are based on fairy stories and use fear and guilt as their main rationale. How can intelligent people be taken in?

Hey Is - I dust those throphies reguarly once a year. you must have at least 5 won by shear brain power. If they are stupid enough to hit the balls back to you, without you having to run, you are intelligent enough to hit into the space where they are not. Basic skills which you have and why you have throphies and your peer groups do not!

It’s from tesco, just in one of the bags from there. It doesn’t look like it, but it’s stuffed full of sugary chocolate.
It just can’t compare to the Cafe di Napoli ones though - they are without doubt the best in Dublin. Great coffee from there too.

by: Arsela Undress

Wed, 01 Mar 2006 14:47:28 +0000

That croissant looks terribly plastic wrapped. I’ve been indulging in those cholocate pastry twist yokes from Cafe di Napoli (westland row) fresh baked goodness yummmm….

yummy brekkie Isobel!!
I thought of you yesterday, I was in Starbucks in Dundrum Town Centre, and decided to get my knitting out (!) and had my camera in my bag, and ALMOST took a photo of my frappucino to show you on my blog. But it wasn’t in a nice cup, it was in one of those disposable ones, so thought it would ruin the effect.Next time!

What about all that knitting behind the settee in England?

by: Is

Tue, 07 Feb 2006 11:53:44 +0000

I’m still working on my bag - almost finished the main bit and I’m on to the strap. Then I’m waiting for a delivery from getknitted so I can make a pair of socks for my boyfriend, and attempt the branching out scarf from knitty. And maybe a hat, or tea cosy. I’m trying to finish the works in progress before I start something new.

by: Sara

Isobel
Your wristwarmers look great indeed. Must do a third attempt at my own ones.What are you working on now that you have finished?

by: Elaine

Mon, 06 Feb 2006 22:22:12 +0000

I’m impressed - very impressed!

by: Sharon

Mon, 06 Feb 2006 18:44:23 +0000

Hey, Isobel your wristwarmers look great. The yarn looks kinda heavy so I bet they are much warmer than the ones I made. Thanks for your comments by the way - for some reason though, blogger won’t let me post your comments to my post!!

by: Sara

Fri, 03 Feb 2006 17:11:22 +0000

I must admit (painfully) that the chunky kitkats are too much for me. I prefer the normal ones. I’m a slow choc eater though so can make a kit kat last for a couple of cups of tea!!

by: Is

Fri, 03 Feb 2006 12:11:42 +0000

I want more tea and more kitkats now too. I don’t think I should have started this.

by: Arsela Undress

Damn, now I want a kitkat and a cuppa. But i’ve already had my caffeine limit for the day.

Looks very good Isobel!
I saw your pic on StitchnBitch first and the pics look very different. Have you worn it yet?

by: Is

Tue, 31 Jan 2006 14:26:53 +0000

Hi Sharon - It was pretty fast to make - but I started it on straights, then had to order circulars to finish it as there were just too many stitches, so I’m not sure how long I spent on it with the hiatus in the middle. Only a couple of hours I think. I’ve put a picture up on the StitchNBitchIE site, but it’s a different one - smaller file size.

by: Sharon

Tue, 31 Jan 2006 13:09:36 +0000

I like your Curly Scarf - have you posted the pic up on StitchNBitchIE? I’m beginning to feel left out - will have to put a curly scarf on the TO DO list, I’m determined to finish off at least one WIP before I start though. How long did it take to knit up?

damn, can’t put the link in. It’s called ‘noisy outlaws, unfriendly blobs…etc, etc.’

by: Sara

Tue, 17 Jan 2006 15:57:06 +0000

I’ll have to check out that site later, its blocked at work. I think circulars are the best to use for curleys as they can turn out to be heavy and the circ’s ease that a bit. Knit it straight though, don’t join it!

Tue, 17 Jan 2006 12:44:36 +0000

I should be able to make the next meeting, I’m kind of looking forward to it. I’ve started on a curley wurley scarf, but my needles aren’t long enough and my only big enough circulars are making a bag at the moment, so I’ve just been bold and ordered some addi turbo circulars from www.getknitted.com - and they have Debbie Bliss Maya on sale, so I had to order some of that, but I was good and only ordered one skein.

handmade socks are like good lingerie!
and I knit in the round whenever I get a chance, its so much easier and quicker. I made a set of wristwarmers as my first project knitting in the round, which were promptly taken by a friend, never to be seen by me again…

by: Sara

Tue, 17 Jan 2006 08:44:31 +0000

I know what you mean about the scary aspect of it, I was feeling aprehensive also, but enjoyed the meeting! Are you able to make the next meeting? Started on any curley wurleys yet!

by: Kesey

Sat, 14 Jan 2006 21:49:41 +0000

Never mind the spelling flame, is it cruel to point out that it really doesn’t look like the kind of place where a “full knoledge of Italian cuisine” would be either necessary or desirable? “Full” in this case probably means that your repetoire extends to more than one kind of pizza topping…

He’s a singer, who drove everyone nuts last summer with his gibberish song “you’re beautiful”, and now has a really whiney song out called “goodbye my lover”, which seems to consist of him singing that over and over and over until your ears bleed.
Oh, and he’s a tory. Ex army, you know.
Thinking about it, you’d probably love him, I should buy his album for you.

That’s turned to chocolate as in used it to comfort myself, not literally turned to chocolate. If the latter had happened I would have eaten myself and I would no longer be with you.

by: Is

Thu, 05 Jan 2006 16:12:25 +0000

See, at school, I think that person may have been me, which might explain (a) the appeal of the books, and (b)why I had no friends and turned to chocolate.

Throw some cake over the wall? Man, the English are weird. That plot sounds very Nano, ie random.
Also Katy sounds like that annoying goodie two shoes person you couldn’t stand in school.

by: Donal

Thu, 05 Jan 2006 13:58:51 +0000

First comes the notes about cake then the binge drinking and thongs appear. Also it appears that Katy doesn’t do that much at all except be a pain in the ass.

by: Is

Thu, 05 Jan 2006 12:31:26 +0000

The note was written by another, younger girl in the school. She wanted the boy to throw some cake over the wall to her, and didn’t think he would for her, but he’d know who Katy was. She confessed this to Katy at the end, and Katy forgave her, of course.

They don’t write books like that nowdays. It’s all wizards and things unreal. Bring back the real life true stories I say.

by: Arsela Undress

Thu, 05 Jan 2006 09:33:09 +0000

My God. Katy shouldn’t be allowed out of the house. Her parents die, then her aunt dies, then she has a nasty cousin. She must be a right piece of work. Also, my curiousity is peaked. Who DID write the note to the boy? And why was it such a sin?

by: Arsela Undress

Thu, 05 Jan 2006 09:31:47 +0000

That ‘naturist’ sign is class. It’s like one of those ‘caution tank crossing’ signs, or the new warnings they have on movies these days ‘contains moderate sex and scenes of peril.’

Buying socks just isn’t as much fun as making them. It is fun, I’ll grant you that, but not as much fun. Besides, I don’t actually want to make socks, I want to make leg warmers (I have a really strange craving for some to wear around the house) and some wrist warmer things too.

by: Lucy

Tue, 03 Jan 2006 15:13:21 +0000

Golly. Why don’t you just go out and buy socks, for God’s sake. All this effort when there is perfectly good telly to be watched…

Weird… I thought that first comment got lost.

by: Is

I have them too, that’s what I’m using for the bag. using the double ended ones is better for smaller diameter projects, as otherwise the yarn gets all stretched out and it’s harder to knit.

by: Arsela Undress

Tue, 03 Jan 2006 12:07:09 +0000

why not get a pair of circular knitting needles?

by: Arsela Undress

Tue, 03 Jan 2006 11:51:24 +0000

Why not just buy one of the looped together knitting needle things, rather than fiddle with three?

Nope, nothing arty about it, it’s just wonky. Quite frankly, it’s a christmas miracle that it’s upright at all.

I was called in because you saw no point in answering questions on stories you had read the previous term. Mrs. Kewell said you couldn’t have possibly understood them as you read them too quickly.

by: Arsela Undress

Fri, 09 Dec 2005 13:57:41 +0000

Yes, they do. I spent a delightful night in A&E down there a few years ago after someone dropped a pint glass onto my head (off the second level balcony in a pub whose name I have forgotten.)

by: Is

Fri, 09 Dec 2005 12:35:27 +0000

Sorry, Sorry. I was there for as short a time as possible. A bus driver did try to kill me though, so if I hadn’t jumped back off the road (there was a green man telling me to cross) I could have spent a lot longer down there. Do they have hospitals in Waterford?

I like “amn’t I”, damn it! It’s _far_ more logical than “aren’t I”! I always suspected that “aren’t I” was invented in the 18th century by of those annoying thou-shalt-not-split-infinitives-verily-
nor-endeth-ye-your-sentences-with-prepositions types they had back then, just to see how bizarre a grammatical rule they could concoct and still have it accepted as correct (sic) English…

Of course they’re in date - you don’t think I’d have taken a picture of what it looked like before do you?

A cake? What sort. Work are demanding shortbread, so I’ll be making some of that. Quick and easy things to make are cookies, rock cakes - ohh, I could make the chocolate and banana teabread? None of them are healthy though.

I bought a bottle of Winter Pimms the other day. You mix it with apple juice or warm it up with orange juice and bits - or make up your own combination. Haven’t tried it yet - just liked the idea.

by: Donal

Tue, 22 Nov 2005 16:08:25 +0000

You know what my answer is. Lots of the Whiskeys and lots more of it, and then a bit more. If you mix it with soda or sparkling water you defray the hangover too. But I’ve become a whiskey bore so ignore me. Baileys and Red Bull is all the rage I hear. They call it a Milky Buzzer!

by: Is

Tue, 22 Nov 2005 13:45:37 +0000

Yes, there are only so many hot ports one cvan drink of an evening.
I’m quite a fan of gin and tonic, but yes, it is one for crying with.
I was drinking vodka and tonic the other night on a whim, and I have to say it was most agreeable.
I’m not mad on whiskey. Or rather, I am, and that’s why it’s not advisable that I drink it.
I used to be quite partial to vodka, lime and soda, but I’ve found here that barmen are rather too generous with the lime and you can’t taste the vodka any more. Maybe I should order vodka and soda and keep a small flask of lime cordial in my pocket.

I’m undecided about my Christmas tipple. It might just be vodka and cranberry, you can get that in most pubs. Of course, it tastes nasty in most pubs. Hmmm. Maybe wine, I’ll just have to insist we drink in bars that sell proper wine. Buying a bottle is the best way to go, but does mean that there’s a strong chance I’ll drink the lot, which is never wise.

by: Arsela Undress

Tue, 22 Nov 2005 13:25:19 +0000

I have to find something to drink for the Christmas silly season. Beer is currently ripping my guts to pieces since my attack of ‘the Ebola’ last week. Gin and tonic was suggested if I wanted to ‘cry my way through Christmas’ but somehow I think I won’t need the gin for that.

by: Arsela Undress

Once again brilliant. I was running for my train when ye caught me on the bridge. It was just as delightful. Full of hippies strumming untuned guitars (I kid you not.) and some Italian bloke who couldn’t decide where to sit so sat in all of them through the journey home.

That’s a good plan.
I’ve just received it two more times. From one of the people I’d sent my reply to. This is even a person who has seen me lose my temper before (a rare but scary occurrence), and had it directed at her. Totally oblivious, clearly. I may just identify it as spam next time, and block them all. In fact, that’s a plan.

Damn right! Why do people’s senses leave them when they read things on a computer screen. If some fool turned up at your door with a story like that you would boot them into the street. Send them to Snopes.

Hell tell them the emails count as illegal harassment through the internets and you have reported them to the government. Tell them these emails are used to fund terrorism and internet piracy. Tell them the Sainsbury’s goons are on there way right now with rubber truncheons and Jamie Oliver facemasks to pound their kidneys into pate.

People need to learn to fear the mass abuse of email. FEAR IT!

Do you mean Arundel? Hmm, that would have been handy. Do they have a website? If you’d like to send me some yarn it’ll be gratefully received. Ideally cotton yarn, wool ok, nothing with silk in.

I am blushing. Don’t say it was ME who taught you to patronise geeks though. I got a tough enough time with bastards as it is.

Imagine what would happen if you used the dog bark control collar in conjunction with the vacuum pump. I hear there are people would pay good money for such things.

“Dirty Mary Flint”

You’re the pirate everyone else wants to throw in the ocean — not to get rid of you, you understand; just to get rid of the smell. Like the rock flint, you’re hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you’re easily chipped, and sparky.

Arr!

Black Ethel Vane
Like anyone confronted with the harshness of robbery on the high seas, you can be pessimistic at times. You tend to blend into the background occaisionally, but that’s okay, because it’s much easier to sneak up on people and disembowel them that way. Arr

Bloody Roger Flint
“Every pirate lives for something different. For some, it’s the open sea. For others (the masochists), it’s the food. For you, it’s definitely the fighting. Like the rock flint, you’re hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you’re easily chipped, and sparky. Arr!”

Avast sea dogs there be rum and wenches abroad this day. But shiver me timbers it be colder than Davy Jones locker and such…I mean arr!

I bought someone in work a voodoo doll, to stick pins in someone they hated. I’m not sure it’s calming, but then, I’m not sure it isn’t.

‘Property Bladder’ with Maxwell and Saskia. See these goon faced morons move into your area with their bleating pig faced meatspawn. Gawp as they shit up your street real good with their Vauxhall Chavboxes and endless screaming matches “you facking cant! You facking fackbag!” See the property bladder burst and your equity run about your knees as you watch Saskia take a shite in your garden in front of the prospective buyers whilst Maxwell leans from an open window gurning and slobbering.

you sound like someone who used to make surveys of toilets in London! You gave them marks out of 10 for cleanliness etc. It must have been a pleasure to experience the loos in Japan!

Perhaps lack of spots as a child has forged this obsession. Chocolate has always been a problem. I’m a savoury myself.
