Oh, I was hoping to see Holgar put his badge on his emotional support chicken. (Yes, I missed seeing it last week but not enough to watch it on catch up.)

Next week, it's... Swim wear!!!! Yeah, it'll probably be a disaster. (Who came up with these challenges?!!!!)

#GameOfWool

Team challenge is an 80s style lady's jumper in mohair, incorporating intarsia.

It's making me itchy and they're just designing at the moment!

#GameOfWool

Ooh, that looks like a Stephen West shawl. ( Don't ask me the names of the people because I've no idea who is who, sorry.)

I've no doubt someone can ID the pattern. I'll try to get a screenshot of it later.

Well, I suppose novelty yarn has its uses.

#GameOfWool

Ok, I'm watching the next episode and the first challenge is doggie jumpers in 12hrs... Alongwith a hat.

Not that I'd ever knit anything like that, but I'd like to make a spiky hat so that the dog would look like it's got a Mohican.
And maybe some spikes on the coat too - to make it a hellhound […]

@Devonkiwi Oh no, not Alan Carr - he irritates me. Although I can't think who should be the other presenter right now.

Anyone else think that the Beeb should get La Voix to be one of the replacements for Tess and Claudia next year?

A small blue and yellow bird eating a berry

Berries keep birds alive at winter.

Here is a Blue-tit helping part way through a pretty solid berry

I always thought Tanika was singing that her eyes were hollowed grounds.
No, I've no idea why... But it seemed to fit the song anyway.

A group of very dark brown sheep with swept back horns.

A very neat and clean sheep, looking directly at the camera. Her body is covered with medium length white wool, and her head and legs are black. She has short swept back horns just visible aon the top of her head.

A fluffy white sheep with a black face and long swept back horns. Her long wool looks like it has been brushed, and has been dyed red across her shoulders.

A no-nonsense white sheep, looking directly at the camera. He white wool is somewhat mucky, but I wouldn't dare tell her that.

Recycling some old friends for #DefaidodonDay #DyddDefaidodon

Well, not sure how they decided the winner, and I definitely wouldn't want the winner's sheep badge (because it looks rubbish), but I did feel sorry for Gordon.

Will I be watching next week? I don't know.

Will there be a second series? I seriously doubt it. Just seemed like a mess […]

If you wanted wow and incredible, you should've given them more time then!

#GameOfWool

Oh, I need a group hug and I was just (half) watching it, not knitting it!

#GameOfWool

A knitted sofa cover? In 10 hours!

Who came up with this? And why?

#GameOfWool

Gordon's steeking!!!! Tom's panicking!!!

(Off topic, but Tom's wearing a kilt. I just know I'm going to go looking for a modern kilt online now - I think I want a denim one.)

#GameOfWool

Little annoyed that Tom said you have to switch over to straights to do the armholes and neckline.

You can do it with circulars, you know. 🙄 Sheesh.

#GameOfWool

A Fair Isle tank top in 12 hours!!!!! Yeah, there's a reason there's no way I'll be applying for this programme!!!

(I know they're using chunky wool, but even so!)

Is church building with scaffolding and roof entirely missing.

is knitted post box topper showing large red poppy flower on side and on top is representation of same church in pristine state with train of red poppy themes streamers running from gable to ground.

The woman that makes the post box toppers in Mudeford has done her best work yet.

The new one is doing double duty as reasonably tasteful performative remembrance fetish object, but also sad commentary on the slow rate of repair of All Saints' Church since […]

@only_ohm Chefs on TV seem to use a lot of salt as well...

@only_ohm 😆
The amount of butter used by one of them should've given you a clue!

Ok folks. Thanks for keeping me entertained tonight.

Have a good weekend and see you next time, poppers!

#TOTP

I love this song, and I can't stop dancing.... Nor can I get over the chest hair, the medallions, the perms... Thank god the music is so, so much better than the fashion!

#TOTP

Whoever came up with that deserved to get eaten by the shark.

#TOTP

Bit of a whiplash going from Leo Sayer straight to St Joan.

#TOTP

Ooh,ooh,ooh.

Peter Cetera pretending he's a ghost 👻.

#TOTP

Oh, I remember how confused we were in the playground, on the Friday morning after this was aired.
Of course, the confusion didn't last too long; there were more pressing matters to hand... Like beating the boys at marbles (which I did).

#TOTP

Eddie's a bit of a cad, isn't he?

#TOTP

Mad World!
Tuuuunnneeeee!!!!!!

#TOTP

Sitting here, eating crap chocolates and listening to music that's not making me get up and groove or move.

Evening all!

The benefit I get from the fediverse is that I can toot into the void and sometimes the void will toot back.
