Has Anyone Ever

I do feel sorry for you, hope the whole lot is Ao.k. when all is dry. It has never happened to me, but I wonder why. Just put it down to ‘Sod’s Law’.

Phew! V glad blanket is OK.

We still have a faint red wine stain on the carpet from a visiting friend’s dog, a very waggly flatcoat retriever, wagging a glass of mulled wine on to the carpet at Christmas.

He was such a lovely boy though (RIP) he was forgiven - in any case it was our own fault for not putting such things out of waggly-tail reach.

All has nicely dried out now, thank goodness!

Like Grandmajean I laughed. I shouldn’t laugh but your description did sound funny. Anyway the answer to your question is a resounding no, I’ve never tipped a cup of tea, full or otherwise, into my knitting bag. That could of course be because I don’t own a knitting bag.

Whiff

Callistemom that was quick thinking of him. Bet he's either done that before or had it done to him. Mind you does make me think of wet tee shirt competition ?.

Callistemon, my little dog kept digging about in my knitting bag (the one in the corner, with squares and many knitted, yet unfinished items - so quite a size).

Eventually, I thought she must have buried a treat in there - so tipped it all out. I found a small piece of leather with fur attached - stripey fur!

I can only imagine it was a part of the remains of a long dead cat. So, in the bin, back to square one (literally) and, lesson learned, now it's all stored in an ottoman!

I knocked a full mug of hot blackcurrant and blueberry fruit tea over my cross stitch and carpet. Said a few rude words. Thank goodness for varnish stick for the cross stitch and Dr Beckman for my pale grey carpet. Both look as good as new. .

I'll never forget the time when I spilt red wine down a cream top when standing by a swimming pool chatting to DH's boss before dinner.
Quick as a flash he threw his glass of white wine over my top!
At least he didn't push me into the swimming pool.

Not the cat’s wine, you understand, but even so!
That made me laugh!
?

A bottle of white wine got the red wine stains out from DH's wine spill, followed by carpet shampoo.
(He is not Boris, if anyone was wondering.)

The yarn has dried out now, it looks fine, as do the crochet squares (they' re not that good anyway).
I'd just finished a 6ft granny blanket so thank goodness that wasn't still in the knitting/crochet bag.

I may have previously mentioned the time when I dropped off and my mug of tea flooded my laptop. When it dried out the keyboard had gone haywire and it cost me a pretty penny to get it sorted out.

I am amazed how much liquid there is when it is spilt accidentally. A cup of coffee on your desk, with not enough to merit another mouthful becomes like the parting of the Red Sea when it spills in the drawer. Defies the laws of physics. Suedonim you would be safer limiting your cat to white wine or a nice safe G&T.

Gah! ?. I hope it all dries out nicely.

Our cat knocked over a glass of red wine onto a new neutral-coloured carpet. ? Not the cat’s wine, you understand, but even so! A local carpet cleaner chap managed to remove every vestige of the stain.

My eldest daughter often mentions the time, she must have been about ten, when she carried a plate of spaghetti Bolognese from the kitchen to the dining room and dropped it, all over our nice cream carpet.
I've always been very house proud and she legged it up the garden and didn't come back in for some time.
Callistemon I do feel for you xx

No but dropped a glass of red wine into my friends handbag!

I've pulled the rug over that bit, crazyh
It's not too bad, just a darker patch, not as bad as getting out the red wine!

The problem is that the rug "walks"

Oh Callistemon ?

The bag, yarn and squares seem to have survived ok but I'm not so sure about the carpet!

Horses and stable doors spring to mind!

I feel for you all. Our upstairs carpet is an awful hotch potch of unexplained stains. I've been meaning to get a new one since the kids left home. I don't think I would be as successful as you all at removing stains.

Oh yes, as soon as we had a new carpet and suite, they got christened in
That was DH that time, it was quite spectacular, and he has banned himself from taking red wine into the sitting room ever since.

This has been spilled in my home countless times.
