Els my mind is rather dull today - I think I will have to ask Harry Patter
which kind of broom is best for senior citizens. GOd Bless Gwen

Mirjam,
Is a rucksack what I call a backpack? I would also suggest warm gloves and socks.

Mine is younger than that and hasn't seen much use, so it will only need
dusting off. ;) Got it at the sheep and wool festival from a guy who makes
brooms while you watch!

A scarf, perhaps, but why not a fascinator?

I would probably use my knitting bags. One has the local guild logo and the
other has the logo from a big knitting guild convention.

Been reading this thread and giggling madly...I almost dread to bring this up
again, but do you guys realize how much you're sounding like Terry Pratchett's
'Three Wyrd Sisters'? <eg> Especially Nanny Ogg and Magrat. Heck, Nanny Ogg
would've loved your shoulder bag, Els. She always had to stuff her cat Greebo
in a sack! (a very dangerous proposition, indeed, considering what Greebo is
like...) Magrat would be the witch playing her guitar, with flower blossoms
dropping flower out of her hair.

Now me...I've decided I'm gonna be Nanny Ogg when I grow up. Anyone who can
outlive that many husbands (several of whom she didn't marry), tell jokes that
would make a sailor blush, and always carries beer-bottles in her knickers, is
my kinda role model! <vbeg>

Well I can bring my magic wand but it only works if I bring my pointy hat
and my knitting!

Broomstick Lace, of course! :) In fact, you can even make some while
flying. Is there a law against that? Crocheting and flying a broom?

So long as I'm not stuck with a broom like Granny Weatherwax's that needs
miles of running to get it started! No wonder she stays so slim.

I think I'm built like Nanny Ogg, at least.

Yes bring your wand (toverstok).....at the end of it there will be a
light....you do have to say the correct words. I will borrow one of our
boat's oil lamps and hang it on my broom. A little light on top of my hat
will help as well.

Monica....I have been reading several of the Terry Pratchett's books but
not that one, I guess I either have to read it while flying or have to
postpone my trip to get updated here....I do not have a cat to bring, but
how about a barred owl...we have one sitting here every night in one of
our trees. She may want to come along as well.

Hi Lee the pattern I have is from Fiber Trends I think that they are
located in Bellingham, Washington. She may have a website as well. You
knit the slippers on fat circular needles with a wool that felts well.
The slipper are knitted very loosly and when put in the washing machine
will felt.

I always thought that knitting needles were the origin of the magic wand
idea. Just get some made out of lignum vite.

I think that any kniting needle is an original Magic wand ,, look it a
stick that takes aa trhread is moved a bit up, down etc,,, and Voila a
knitted garment comes out , now if this isn`t proper magic ? waht do
you call magic ??

Thankyou, Mirjam, I'm blushing.
And yes, agreed wholeheartedly, VERY symbolic.
And, on another note... mobious was such a long discussion thread here on
RCTY that I thought we should wear them on our brooms!
Yes?

Els, 'Three Wyrd Sisters' is the one in which he introduces Granny Weatherwax,
Nanny Ogg, and Magrat.(and yes, 'Magrat' is spelled correctly. her *mother* was
a bad speller, which is why she's not 'Margaret.' in the Kingdom of Lancre,
once your name is said out loud the first time at your naming, that's it. this
is why Magrat, now queen of Lancre, has a daughter whose middle name is, 'Note
Spelling.' <g> it's a long story...cv. 'Carpe Jugulum.')

But you can enjoy any of Pratchett's books that have those characters without
reading that particular one. You get a real good idea of their personalities
right quick, LOL.

Now, back to broomsticking...uh, hey... Did we post a warning *not* to be
trying to lug any curling stones??? Working broomstick lace in-flight *is*
allowed, of course. Nay, encouraged!

Els, I like the barred owl idea. Owls are great!
