..lay a little egg for me Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I used to have a knitted Clanger & a Soup Dragon, who I loved I wish I still had them now,actually A friend of mine has a child who has been watching the Clangers and loving it. Not sure whether it was on TV or DVD. Anyway, my friend went to her local wool shop and little Alice spotted a knitted Clanger there. She wanted to take it home, of course. The lady said it had been her daughter's and that Alice couldn't take it home but that she thought she still had the pattern. Went off and found the pattern, so my friend got the wool and knitted one for her daughter...it is now her favourite toy. I could ask her for the pattern if you like??

MedusA Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Sorry. Only just noticed this thread. I think I can admit to remembering all the things on the original list. I was fascinated by white dog poo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlo Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 [quote="Mutrix Farmers Does anyone remember Poggles Wood? I remember the name and probably that Oliver Postgate (who did a lot of kids' programmes) did the voices. Can't remember much else though![tries to look for a scratching head smily!] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
