If you Google ‘bubble gum comics and wrappers’ you will see what I mean. Just think how many would have been thrown away – yours could even be valuable!barbaraannefishernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496559191887463909.post-87980237584522072802012-01-07T16:34:17.605+00:002012-01-07T16:34:17.605+00:00It’s good fun finding things especially when they ...It’s good fun finding things especially when they are a bit quirky like this.barbaraannefishernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496559191887463909.post-34731446793896743042012-01-07T16:31:45.728+00:002012-01-07T16:31:45.728+00:00It’s amazing how something so inconsequential can ...It’s amazing how something so inconsequential can bring back so many memories.

When my little granddaughter was born last year I had a sudden longing to knit something for her and went to look at patterns. Whatever happened to knit one purl one? Everything looked so complicated I gave up before I even got started.barbaraannefishernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496559191887463909.post-6061978023586071612012-01-07T01:33:40.682+00:002012-01-07T01:33:40.682+00:00Ha ha, so cute!

What a clever idea - I'd love to see it in action.<br /><br /> My grandmother used to knit me school cardigans (made with a world of love) when I was in primary school. I'm sure there was nothing wrong with them but all I wanted was the (thin) shop bought kind the other children wore! <br /><br />I haven't knitted anything myself for about 20 years - I quite used to enjoy it but I was never completely happy with the results and usually became tired of the garment before I had finished it!Sharon Souternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496559191887463909.post-84760181160225362332012-01-06T12:58:45.940+00:002012-01-06T12:58:45.940+00:00Barbara, I've never knitted a whole sweater in...Barbara, I've never knitted a whole sweater in my life, only a row or two when my cousin taught me back in the 80s, so I haven't seen this before.
