A huge amount of fun but not much knitting there! Following Netball, […]
What a beauty, I love it. As someone who also indulges in a little light trafficking , there is no…

It's an unusually cold and wet summer here in England. 17C today! Sorrel was very welcome 🙂
Your advent fade really turned out well. I pink and purple one would be beautiful too. I can't imagine wearing…
Wow!!! Gorgeous!! What a fantastic pattern and fade!
