sure you do Ata... start with small or simple projects and work them out on graph paper...
2:33 am
metaleather

It's okay mrpresident!

Ahh, my needlework teacher Miss Fro - "Girls, where are your thimbles?"
3:11 am
Haz1558
It was an early form of torture for me. I did overcome the phobia as far as knitting was concerned, but needlework still consists of stitching the stuffing in the Christmas turkey.

Not really, candy, at least not here. My girls were never introduced to the joys of embroidery stitches and gingham aprons.

they do in at least some schools

Haz - I believe your daughter is in my local primary school - well done to her - sometimes placements don't happen that quickly
3:17 am
mrpresident
I am teaching Maddison to knit... she loves it! and they do french knitting at school (whatever that is)
3:18 am
Haz1558
Yes, candy - she was very fortunate in that she had left her CV in and the school contacted her regarding the maternity leave that was coming available. She is enjoying it and is full of stories about the children.
3:19 am

Not too far from home either.
3:19 am

Used to be one. Kinda ran out of books sometime in high school
3:51 am
metaleather
I've been thinking about going back and rereading some
3:53 am
metaleather
and perhaps some of the Marion Zimmer Bradley books as well
3:54 am
Ornith
I have a feeling a lot of those books are a lot better when you're in high school than if you reread them again later
3:55 am
mrpresident
ok, I have ordered.....
Fish Cakes
BBQ Octopus
Green Curry Chicken
Peanut Sauce Chicken Wok Stirfry w Bok Choy, Chinese Cabbage & Broccoli, Mushroom and Baby Corn
Duck Chilli w Basil Snow Peas, Capsicum, Mushroon and Basil Leaves
3:55 am

hear hear, metal! Also the chopping bit needs to be lots faster
3:58 am
metaleather
I agree Ornith... it's never as easy for me as it is for Emeril or Rachel or Mario
3:59 am
Ornith
well, part of it is having really sharp knives. makes all the difference in the world.
3:59 am
Ornith
but I think they teach them how to do it at cooking school... when I try to mince stuff it goes all over the plce
4:00 am
metaleather
I end up with big hunks of things...
4:00 am
Ornith
how are there that many words that start with w+consonant!?
4:01 am
Haz1558
Use the sometimes vowel.
4:01 am
metaleather
it's the con. that is "sometimes a vowel"
4:01 am
Ornith
oh, I figured that, but even so.
4:01 am

It is a little mind boggling isn't it Ornith
4:02 am

4:16 am
Ornith
easier than it looks, but that's not saying much
4:17 am

Hello Pappou - it's not too bad, more normal words than you might expect combined with a few head-scratch-worthy ones.

4:23 am
JFB
Not a bad grid - with a combination of some obvious ones, monkeying, guessing and a lot of help from the chat log I'm down to 12 to get.
4:23 am
FranMag
it probably has something to do with the du5/16, same root i'm thinking
4:24 am
Haz1558
The du5/16 is quite noble in its association.
4:24 am

good evening eveyone, such a small grid after the last few

not there yet
4:26 am
JFB
Think swash-bucling films Ragalla - rhymes with a word for dogs
4:26 am
Haz1558
Ragalla - it's an old fashioned exclamation. If it started with h, it would relate to dogs, if it started with s it would relate to noise
4:26 am

4:31 am

ragalla, not a n00b

FranMag

5:17 am
metaleather
I nearly choked with that 392
5:18 am
Andree
when they are huge like 392, i just do what I can in the time i have
5:19 am
metaleather
me too. I do try to finish but don't let it warp my fragile mind if I am unable to do so.
5:20 am
metaleather
If noone needs any clues, I'm headed out for the day. Time for me to get to bed.
5:20 am

5:36 am
bonkler
it's a penguin book by susan kelz sperling, much fun

2:43 pm
Ankhorite
MVA, CATH, you both say "Wales" in country line, so why doesn't MVA's flag work? Hmmm. Hmmm. MVA, did you click "display profile" or "show profile" or whateverit is? Haz, Lynxx, Angb...thanks!!!

Biltong
How do I find my flag, Ankh?
2:48 pm
MVA
i have selected wales, but i don't know why the dragon doesn't show
2:48 pm
Haz1558
du4/7 - almost Mussolini's title but different vowel ending. Or first three letters of the quacking bird followed by a vowel.
2:49 pm
Haz1558
MVA - have you clicked 'update profile'?
2:49 pm
evanonut
thanks haz
2:49 pm
Ankhorite
Biltong, you may have the same problem as MVA. You have UK in your country -- so I thought it would appear automagically. When you look at "My Account" did you click "show profile" ? Also, if you do check it, and click "update profile", then refresh when you come back here, see if that makes a difference.
2:50 pm
MVA
haz, i haven't updated
2:51 pm
Ankhorite
Aha, well, add a space or something, make sure "show" is checked off, and hit update... anybody have clues for un5?
