That is the dog's bits
I bet you would win all the board events that we have on the odd occasion.

that's so gorgeous!
did you eat all those smarties?
(MissButterfly can't help herself, Fri 23 Nov 2007, 16:04, archived)

Sure did!
Since they started putting them in hexagonal boxes I've been getting insatiable urges to buy six packs at once so that I can make them interlock.

Quite childish really.

I love smarties

A while back...
my girfriend knitted this robot, and I wired him up to a battery:

Hahahaha
I bet it's fun round your house :)
Edit: May I have the pattern please?

( Flowerpot watches through the railings as they play, Fri 23 Nov 2007, 16:07, archived)

She says...
* size 10 needes, and two colours of the cheapest, thinnest wire you can fnd.

* cast on 4 stitches holding both colors of wire together

* work in stockinette 7 rows

* work in color 1 across row and cast on 4 more stitches

* work 3 rows in color 1

* work 1 purl row holding both colors together

* use needle to make spring shape of arm with one color, work one row with both colors held together

* use nedle to make spring shape of arm with other color, cast off 3 stitches at this shoulder

* work rest of row

* cast off 3 stitches at this shoulder

* work head with both strands held together - 6 rows

* pick up and knit other leg same as the first, do not actually join wires

* add electronic bits (I bought a cheap flashy led kit from Maplins)

I hope that makes sense to you, because it means nothing to me!

Yes it makes sense to me. Ta :)
