    With the return of BBC's The Great British Sewing Bee, surely we can come up with something controversial to argue over regarding needles, threads, thimbles or clothing?

    I rely on the great debating skills of this board to whip up a storm (or a skirt).

    All round domestic science thread....?

    Back to sewing, like any self respecting metal head I spent hours embroidering the my favourite band logos onto my denim jacket including the seminal Boston guitar spaceship.

    No joke , here, Bloother. Mrs GG spends hours on the Ravelry website forums talking to her fiends about knitting etc. and 'etc' covers a vast swathe of topics, just look:
    http://www.ravelry.com/discuss

    I just have to wait to get my hands on the iPad, while she just wastes hours when she could be doing things around the house. Then she wonders why things haven't got done. Hmmpphhh.

    There used to be a social club at the hospital called Stitches. I used to pop in on match days. And at some other times as well.

    The place was well named - rough would be an understatement.
