Well u c there u r.  I was trying to figure out what you meant and all along you ACTUALLY meant a salt pot.  Umm.  Think I need a lie down in a darkened room.  ~Won’t need help geting it dark as I think its going to pee down very very soon.

~This whole site is a bad influence on me- today I was supposed to have done ironing changed bed mopped floor, all I done is some washing and sorted paperwork into piles, will need to knit something quick to take my hubby’s mind off the fact no housework done.  Now where is that pepperpot warmer pattern??? tongue wink

Well, I nearly wee’d myself!  I’ve been feeling very poorly ... think I’ve got a bit of a bug ... so I came on here to apologise for being MIA and AWOL.  Instead of feeling so tired and poorly, I now have hysterics at the thought of all these knitting ladies mentally sizing up the pepper pots at their disposal and with warm hands casting on!  Honestly, thank you for making me feel soo much better.  Waggel good luck and happy anniversary!

waggel - 27 June 2008 03:58 PM

HI.I came down this morning to a 5th anniversary present and card.Cos we’ve been busy and arguing for fun lately I forgot the date.I now need to come up with something for him made from stuff in house as my car is in garage.Fifth is wood so I looked and have wooden knitting needles which I don’t want to sacrifice and 2 coctail sticks which I had earmarked for a lovely knitters brooch.Although he does sew up my knitting projects don’t think it will suit him.So I have got until 7 tonight to knit him something.He likes my knitted dishcloths but that is not very romantic.I have already knitted car air freshener.Does anyone have any ideas for dead quick knit present.Has to be simple cos all my knitting ends up as a major campaign.I made him a mobile phone case but I couldn’t just knit a rectangle.It took weeks of planning and research to find stitch and yarn that didn oh oh ‘t scratch phone and gave it padding.Anyone any ideas.HELP please.

Thanks for reminding me its 23rd our anniversary on 30th June.

If you have a pattern foe a fancy one use the stitch size but leave out the fancy pattern make it plain, put a cable up it, check the size and change wool stitches and needles if needed.

How can you check the size of his pepper pot, without him knowing?

Ah Auntie Nellie, well, first of all the best bet is to make the pepper pot warmer a bit smaller than he actually needs, to ahem, boost his ego!

Seriously tho, how did it go Waggel?  I woke up with a start about 5am (!) and thought o no you coulda made a photo frame.  then put a wedding pic or a fave pic of his in it.  See I serious again and coming over all queer....

Let us know what happened in the end.

Err with the knitting that is, phew!

It’s them others leading a lol astray. I learn things on here that I never knew existed. I never knew you could get little woolly warmers for your pepper pots. confused
