Do you keep track of how much you spend on knitting? I do 🙁 I’m not going to reveal the shameful numbers but suffice it to say, my level of “sin” has been around the same each year for the past few years –  Except last year… … in 2013 I managed to spend more than twice […]

What’s that? Another new Kidsilk Hazealike yarn from Rowan, “Kidsilk Error”??? Errrm, No 🙁 It’s me making a huge blunder in the sales. I found myself at the John Lewis sale when the doors opened at 8:00am and dashed straight to the yarn department. I was overjoyed to find that one of the “Kidsilks” was […]
