Even in the greenhouse they wouldn't dry out.<br /><br />My senile female friend came up with a good idea. "Why don't you light a nice big fire and stack them on the hearth for a few days?" she suggested.<br /><br />Brilliant! Why didn't I think of that? Use 20kgs of house coal to dry out a few paper blocks for the winter!Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15200342372174623936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4941930385963521365.post-16390508106893237462010-12-13T10:26:53.146+00:002010-12-13T10:26:53.146+00:00In answer to your question, does anyone knit these...In answer to your question, does anyone knit these days.... yes.

You might be surprised to hear that knitting is the new rock and roll and has become extremely popular again, as have many other hand crafts. I was brought up in a family where everything we needed was made, passed down or repaired and improvised and it has stood me in good stead.Kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04003521059890699861noreply@blogger.com
