I was cheered this morning to realise that I don’t have to stop knitting until the new needles arrive (hopefully tomorrow). I can leave the completed 10cm of moss stitch for the back on the stupid plastic thing and get on with the 10cm of same for one of the fronts (and probably the other front too) (awaits quip about me having two fronts…), for which I do have proper needles.
The worrying thing is that it took me until this morning to realise this.
In the meantime, to avoid waste, can anyone suggest a use for two 30cm long pointy things? ?

Holding up indoor plants on your window-ledges. I have to prop the annual amaryllis, for instance, and a plastic knitting-needle would probably be ideal.

I could use em if I taped em to my white stick and prodded folk into socially distancing themselves
I have the perfect defence as the white stick attests…

You should see me with a trolley and stick

It worries me that you asked that.
It worries me more that you asked that here.

Been to dentist
Two teef filled
One needed SEVEN lots of the filling stuff in it
Then the cleaning of me teefs and another filling was discovered to be absent so another appointment made
And I don’t know where the sweet wee gel who claims to be a dentist hides her schoolbag
She is far far far to young to be a dentist
Baking group today and we are doing lemming drivel cake

Don’t be so daft, Twellsy
You tell us about your extensive dental work, & then move straight on to cake with a sugar syrup topping.

It’s only in the oven 30 minutes - in needs 10 more and then it needs to cool before it gets decorated and left to cool before it is eaten
I can’t be doing with sparrers with burnt beaks - makes it hard for them to ingest beer

I have heard rumours about this “left to cool” thing. Not convinced.

All goes to making better sparrer, or at least a bigger one.
