Even I don't look the way I expect me to. Or maybe that's I don't look the way I want to.  :roflanim:  Actually, I do really. The mirror lies to me.  :innocent: :innocent:

Made me smile.  In my head, I look slim and quite smart.  On the rare occassions when I am somewhere with shop windows, I frequently find myself thinking "Gosh, look at the clip of that fat girl with the straw in her hair" before realising it is, in fact, me.

Personally, mowhaugh, I suspect that someone has changed all the mirrors and plate glass windows with those mirrors that distort you and make you look fatter than you really are. That can be the only explanation for my reflection.  :innocent:  Not sure how they get it to make me look as if I have huge bags under my eyes though.

And here's a lovely pic of one of the spinners spinning :)

Love the socks! Always a sign of a busy knitter!

there used to be a lady who advertised in one of the smallholding mags for hand spinning, but when i phoned her up, she had a years waiting list and a ball of wool from our own fleece was about £6 a ball - and that was 10 years ago.
