a 'threesome of the utmost kind'...

as my man left for work on monday morning he enquired

"will you be getting dressed today Tif?"

i replied that i was indeed thinking about it as i was planning big things with Miss Ethel,

but i was also sorely tempted to stay in my pyjamas and dally, for Mr Hook's brother was calling my name.

my man then asked if it was possible for me to spend more dallying time with him and less with Mr Hook and his brother.

i told him this was quite out of the question as i had just reapplied my lip salve.

he went off to his desk job a rejected man and i stayed home dallying with guilt...

never has a 'groupe de trois' been so in the forefront of my mind since the heady days of flu last winter and my delirious imagination having thoughts of me, colin firth and johnny depp...

if you are sitting comfortably, then i shall enlighten you to my shameless ways...

it all came about last week.

after revealing to you the antics of me and Mr Hook over the 'gleeful' season, i got rather 'boosted' to try new and exotic things with my yarn. but unfortunately Mr Hook was not up to the job in question, so i cast him aside and pondered. after a short interval of me pondering and him cast aside, he piped up "no worries, i have a brother".

my little eyes lit up upon hearing he was bigger than Mr Hook and best of all he had a PHD in the very subject i wished to study. of course, being that knowledgeable meant he liked to be called Dr... quite understandable i feel.

and so it came about last friday, i started my love affair with Dr Hook when no one was home to cast a 'disapproving' glance in my direction.

in the beginning he was a little 'off' with me, slightly distant, as though he was perhaps too good for me. i tried really hard to please but it was to no avail...

this twosome was not working out.

in a desperate need to make it work, clinging to the remains of our crumbling relationship, i suggested we found a friend to join us.

Dr Hook suddenly looked most interested.

a little while later, i found a willing participant to join our threesome.

her name is Dorothy, at least that is what i called her.

in my giddiness of finding her and her willingness to participate, i forgot to ask.

we have dallied in every chair in the shed... Dr Hook, me with chevron blanket in the making and Dorothy in the background with her soothing tones and lovely soft hands.

it would appear my 'groupe a trois', perhaps not quite so lusty as one with colin firth and johnny depp, is indeed a match 'made in heaven'.

i have told my two close friends that although i may appear to neglect them during the day, spending time with Miss Ethel and my clan, that they are never far from my thoughts. i will, whenever possible, spend stolen moments with them, albeit under the cover of darkness when the shed is asleep.

we have a long way to go and i'm hoping no squabbles will arise.

i tell myself to trust Dr Hook and his PHD,

compliment Dorothy regularly on her nice hands,

keeping them 'sweet' at all times

and that despite my doubts with the colors i've used,

the end result will be worth all the hours of dallying...

she's got a special guest for tomorrow... oh yes! it's a 'question of crafting' time, one not to be missed. ooooh nice ~ Tif
