scusi

@Perrine lovely review but made me sad for missing Paris again :( @clementine, lucky lucky girl :) @Anna's blanket, awww that's so sad, was it the one I saved in Dusseldorf? Do you think that blankets grow on trees?? You already have another one lined up for the chop! :)

In the magazine that came with our newspaper yesterday they had a "Ten basic items for your Winter wardrobe" type article and I couldn't believe it when I saw the jacket they recommended. It's a Viva jacket...mind you it was £260 !!

Hi Min, glad you had a great time :) Enjoy London and hope to meet you at the weekend . :kiss:

Thanks for all the vids and pics everyone, sounds and looks like it was a great night, I wonder if they will repeat the X factor bit again next Saturday, would be funny with Cheryl there etc! :)

Ahh I love Chris's improvisations soooo mcuh :)

:kiss: :)

Haha, yes we had a great time didn't we and I think that security bloke thought we were all a bit mad!! Kris was pleased to meet you too :chris::kiss: Thank you for saying I'm talented with my knitting, that means so much to me, you should give it a go yourself, it's really relaxing and you can end up with nice things too :)

Aww thanks, they made me so welcome there it was the very least I could do and we had some great adventures with Kris! :)

Haha, thanks, what with making two bags and two little "Kris" puppets and a shawl for Anna's mum I was knitting my fingers to the bone in the weeks leading up to my trip to Germany the other week, it was a labour of love though :)

Hi the bags are knitted and they took quite a while to work out but I was pleased in the end. First I knitted a black rectangle much bigger than I needed with a graduated bit for the flap. Then I knitted the long handle, again, about 3 times longer than the length required. Then washed them in the machine with some jeans to give more "agitation" on a hot wash to turn them into "felt" which in turn shrank them to the correct size and made the fabric more solid. Then I sewed up the sides to get the bag shape and attached poppers, made a lining from cotton fabric and sewed that in place , added the handle etc. To get the butterflies I knitted a green square and a pink square larger than I needed and felted those too in the machine, then drew the butterfly on tissue paper and used it as a pattern to cut the shapes out of the squares. Once knitting has been felted it's safe to cut it without it all coming unravelled. Then I sewed the butterflies in place...voila! You have to use 100% natural wool not anything with acrylic etc added or it won't felt. Those H&M jackets are great, thanks for the tip. :)

I couldn't make a jacket but I did make Anna and I a LRLRL bag each!! FRONT: BACK:

I've voted...good luck Jen! :)
