applauds!

hope them's not your legs modelling 'em boxy

[Connemmara]

well done boxtops - a real labour of love - hope somebody appreciates them - they are really lovely

[boxtops]

Thank you both - no, sloopy, that's nibble, he apologises for the knees but they are all he's got :-)

[Tilly2]

Wow! Did you use circular needles?

[Maydup]

A wonderful pair! Well done you.

[boxtops]

No, tilly - doubled enders - five on the go at one point, with the shaping and cabling.

It's the first time nibble's had made to measure hosiery!

[humbersloop]

well as it's nibs, that's a magnificent pair of pins displayed at their finest by said hosiery boxy

;x)

[Mosaic]

Amazing work - well done!

[Tilly2]

Those little fish and chip baby jumpers must be a doddle to you, boxy.

[boxtops]

I haven't tried them yet, tilly - I've done some hats for the Innocent Age Concern bottles, next job is some Christmas decorations.

I hoped you dont mind that I also looked at your other photos. The shoplifters injuries after he stabbed a marine and fell are pretty horrendous!

[starone]

Wow!! That green spilling over the page is overflow from my "green with envy" stance. What an achievement.

[mrs_overall]

Well done boxy, I admire your achievement.

[mazie]

Wow. They are so good Boxy (nice legs Your Nibs)

[Prudie]

Wow I'm impressed, I couldn't do that if you paid me, well done.
Ref the other photos boxy (sorry I nosed too) what variety is the lovely white rose rambler? Secondly, a tip I learnt from Answerprancer about photobucket, if you right click in the direct link box then you can paste just that photo on here (rather than everyone seeing your album).

[murraymints]

Very nice too..have they been washed yet?the knees that is not the socks !

[grasscarp]

Also hugely impressed by your knitting feat (no pun intended)

[boxtops]

Prudie, thanks for the tip re the photo link, I'll try that - but I don't put anything in my album on photobucket which I haven't shared already, so I don't mind people looking.

The rambling rose is Seagull - it's fabulous, that's been in the ground about 12 years now (and probably in the foundations if the size of the stalk is anything to go by....) - it smells wonderful, and it is full of bees in mid-June.
