Answer a Question with a Question...

[Kaila]

Mine isn't red; Is that because I live in a cold, not a hot part of the world?

(That was fascinating, Holly. From the Sahara! To Spain. Wow. Thanks for saying.)

 

[Kaila]

So then, hot dust is a different color from cold dust?

(The Rocky Mountains in western USA, do have red rock, so they have red dust, too!)

 

[StarSong]

Don't most areas get dust that's the same color as their local ground and rocks?

 

[Kaila]

And then, an area as huge as the Sahara, the red dust gets into the prevailing winds, all the way, to come down in the rain in SPain?

 

[Rosemarie]

And then, an area as huge as the Sahara, the red dust gets into the prevailing winds, all the way, to come down in the rain in SPain?

(When the wind is coming from the south, the Sahara sand gets as far as England.Cars are covered in a fine red dust.)

Did you realise that the dust also gets into your hair?

 

[hollydolly]

Do you think Dusty Springfield had dust in her Bouffant ?

 

[Rosemarie]

Is that how she got her name? (I know that Dusty was a nickname, do you know how she got it?)

 

[hollydolly]

Her name was Mary.. she became ''Dusty '' as child because of her tomboy ways..was anyone here a tomboy ?

 

[StarSong]

I was - don't you think tomboys had a lot more fun than the girls who sat around playing with dolls?

 

[Pink Biz]

No, can I assume you were getting bandaged up all the time while I was indulging in tiny tea parties?

 

[hollydolly]

I certainly did, I climbed trees, high walls, did everything, even football with my brothers' friends .. although I did have one treasured doll( a second hand tressy doll someone gave me) , but only because I used to make clothes for her for History class , and dress her in different ages .. from stone age.. right through to Victorian and Edwardian... ..anyone else enjoy History at school ?

 

[StarSong]

No on the history question. Did you also make clothing for yourself?

 

[mike4lorie]

I cannot make your clothing, so on that note do you think I can make my own clothing?

 

[Pink Biz]

Who cares, when @hollydolly can make Stone Age doll clothes?

 

[Rosemarie]

I knitted a sweater for my son's Action Man, did anyone else do that?

 

[Kaila]

I made clothes for dolls too; But did any of you make any clothing for your dog or your cat?

(And did Holly make Stone Age outfits for her grand-doggies? )

 

[Rosemarie]

( I knitted a coat for my dog)


Does anyone else have a pattern book of items to make for pets?

 

[hollydolly]

Does anyone have difficulty following patterns ?

 

[mike4lorie]

Do you sometimes change the pattern after you start?

 

[Rosemarie]

At the moment I'm knitting a jumper which is a hybrid, two designs combined. Does anyone else play around with knitting patterns?

 

[mike4lorie]

Is playing with needles the same as playing with knitting patterns?

 

[StarSong]

Did anyone else learn to knit decades ago but forgot how?

 

[Kaila]

I did change patterns and combine some, a great deal, and made up my own, but not for any cats or dogs;

Is @Rosemarie the only person in the entire world with a book of patterns for pets clothing items?

(Was the dog cold, or was it to be decorative?)

 

[Rosemarie]

(Kaila, the dog was a lurcher so didn't have much of a coat! She refused to tolerate the coat I made so it ended up as her blanket instead.)

Do you remember when wearing a hand-knitted jumper was a sign of poverty?

 

[hollydolly]

do you remember wishing you could have shop bought clothes regardless of how well made your own home made knitted jumpers and home made clothing was, just to be the same as others ... ?
