Thank you!

Glad it arrived in time, I wasn't sure it would as it was posted the day after the last day for posting all the way to you!

The penguins are just adorable, I had 24 different designs but that one was perfect for you, glad you like it!

"fork-hauling birds"
It's Torchwood written Terry Pratchett-style ^_^

excited to read what's next! :D

[badly_knitted]

LOL! Thank you, I'm a huge Terry Pratchett fan =)

I had so much trouble with this one until I remembered an old comedy sketch with fotk handles/four candles. Glad you liked it!

rotflol, it took me a minute, but I got it. I'm really not familiar with the classic version of this song, though I can do the Cowboy version really well. I also love puns, so that got me as well.

Poor Ianto though. He needs a hug. Where's Jack??

[badly_knitted]

Still at the Hub, probably. He'll be on his way soon though, to help deal with the displaced birds.

I was worried people wouldn't get this one, and a couple haven't but most have, even if it took a while to figure it out. I think this one's the most way-out, the others should be easier.

The classic song has:

Twelve drummers drumming
Eleven pipers piping
Ten lords a-leaping
Nine ladies dancing
Eight maids a-milking
Seven swans a-swimming
Six geese a-laying
Five gold rings
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtledoves
A partridge in a pear tree

Thank you!

Something tells me Jack will get the giggles when this is all explained to him.

I had to say it aloud and then try and think, but it only took me a couple of seconds.

[badly_knitted]

Yay!

Jack will figure it out for himself, lol!

*is speechless from laughing so hard*

That...

*laughs some more*

How wonderfully punny the Cardiff Rift has become...

[badly_knitted]

Perhaps it just misheard... Welsh accents are lovely to listen to, but some entities have trouble understanding them. ;)

Glad you liked it, i was a bit worried that no one would get this one.

Thank you.

You naughty, shameless girl, you!!!! "the fork-hauling birds"????? Does Santa know what you're up to???? Although, I guess a few lumps of coal for the evening fire can't hurt!!!!

[badly_knitted]

*giggles* It was the only thing I could come up with for the Fourth day. Four calling birds are not the easiest thinh for the Rift to misinterpret.

Thank you.
