Tea? (Part 2)

Believe this or not, I have been reliably informed (by the Manager of the local Blue Cross charity shop) that Charity shops cannot sell knitting needles, unless they are in the original packet. Apparently this is a Healthy and safety issue.

Classified as offensive weapons.

My local charity shop sell's sackfuls of them! They're putting us all in danger.

I expect it may depend on the Manager's interpretation of the Health and Safety aspect. I can see it would be a good idea for them to be on display out of reach of the inquisitive fingers of small people.

My little joke. Was thinking along the lines of hospital supplies.

I just won two lots of used crochet hooks I shall be getting out the miltons when they arrive

@Arch I have a knitting query are bamboo needles all right or would I need those metal ones? I have searched and searched all the charity shops for needles and can find none but I have found a set of bamboo ones on e-bay they are

Are these just the sort of same as metal ones?

Bamboo needles are fine. Personally, I prefer metal myself, but bamboo will do,

For the pattern I'm sending you, ideally you'll need two pairs - one pair of 3.25mm and one pair of 4mm. If you do more knitting, these will be most useful anyway, as they are the standard sizes used with doubleknitting thickness yarn, the most common sort.

I'm surprised you can't find them in charity shops, I'm sure I've had them from there before. Carboot sales are also often a good place to find some.

We're having a beer. Well earned, I think.

Oh, and its possible I'll have access to an Oreo cookie during the week but not certain. If I do, I'll measure it.

You could always have a sneaky measure of a packet in the shop....

Oh do they come in packets? The tutorial I found them on showed them in a box

If they come in packets I shall attempt to find some next time I am near a shop what sells them.

Could you make the shoes, and then measure the inside diameter? If you tied them loosely, you would then be able to untie them, and store them flat* awaiting the baking of biskits.

* Storing them flatly would avoid a small person and fragile cardboard shoe interface, thus ensuing the above-mentioned shoes are shoe-shaped and not pancake shaped.

Nabisco's classic Oreo cookies measure in at approximately 1.75 inches in diameter and 0.314 inches thick. Other varieties, such as Double Stuf Oreos and Mini Oreos, have different dimensions.

Marvellous fankoo, looks like the perfect size for shortbread rounds as well, although gingerbread stores better. I might have a practice tomorrow with some that would be "Witches Boots" for the nice receptionist at school what did give Squidge a small pumpkin and also locate missing ninja bunny and one of the two missing jumpers

I think they do...

One of my workmates has a wife who works in a cafe, and sometimes she brings home leftover cake, and he brings some to work. One of the regular cakes is decorated with Oreos. So if he brings any of that in, I can measure it for you!
