Shivering and Knitless
Picture it readers, a shivering, knitless Ben, looking imploringly at the jumper I’m knitting him, silently berating me for knitting for another man and his current lack of new knit wear. (OK, maybe I’m hamming this up just a tiny bit for dramatic effect đ ) As Drifter is too large and complicated to take on the […]

I was a  little worried about giving it to Lawrence….not that I thought Lawrence wouldn’t like it but what his wife would make of it…especially as it was finished two days before Valentine’s day! Lawrence said he was […]
