Hats for Smoothies

[oldherbaceous]

Dear Chantal, i'll have you know i have a very good head of hair young lady.

I must even admit, smoothie isn't the best word to describe me.

Chantal - I`ve got the set of plastic pompom makers.
Crikey! I can do one in a couple of minutes now - and so neatly!
I`m having to resist the temptation to replace the ones I`ve already done - some of which are a bit shaggy!

[Chantal]

That's great news Elderflower, I must say it's made a huge difference to me too.

As well as middle sized pompoms I'm making two dinky ones and putting them on different lengths of wool so they hang down the side of the hat. They look SO sweet

I know what you mean about shaggy pompoms, I've trimmed some of mine right back to try and make them neater but I don't care anymore. The new ones more than make up for the others.

From what OH says, the shaggy pompoms probably look like him

Dear Chantal, i must confess you are probably right, it's been nearly twelve weeks since i've been shorn, where i've been so busy.

[Johnboy]

Sounds like a load of balls to me!!
JB.

[Elderflower]

Looks like it too!

[Chantal]

JB, wash your mouth out!

I had an evening of knitting last night and have made another 15 of the little suckers; this is getting out of hand.

[Chantal]

Over 19,000 hats sent to Innocent already! My tally is 75 and as I'm baby sitting for my niece for the next 4 nights I'll have plenty of time to do loads more once I have her tucked up in bed.

I'm addicted. Totally addicted. Do you think they offer therapy?

You OK out there Belinda and Elderflower?

Hi Chantal,

I think I'm going to need physiotherapy on the 3rd and little fingers of my right hand - my own fault though because of the way I hold my wool. Psychotherapy may not be a bad idea too! I'm running out of places to put them

I had a count up last night - 192 hats, though some are still waiting for their pom-poms. I'm concentrating on pom-poms for the time being, but if I get them done fairly quickly I'll probably make some more hats - at least to get to the 200 mark anyway.

My favourite so far is the rastafarian coloured one with plaited dreadlocks on the top

Hi Belinda

My hands hurt to start with, I kept getting cramp, but the more I do the easier it is. Moral of this tale: knitting loosens up the arthritis

I'm going to try and catch you up a bit, but I'm not sure I can manage 200

[Chantal]

Mine eyes boggled at this little specimen

She just gets everywhere

Whats more, that looks like Eeyore on the right, trying to muscle in on her territory

Dear Chantal, if your eyes boggled, i should think it made Tiggers eyes water.

[Tigger]

Apart from the grimace - it's a self portrait. What happened to my smile?

[Chantal]

I suspect if the photo had been taken from a different angle you might see your smile, or possibly not as you have a smoothie bottle up your bum As it is, your nose is in the way

[peter]

Chantal, you have been associating with OH and myself too much.

Disclosing to the world just what Tigger does with smoothie bottles, really that was just too much information.
