Published by on May 23, 2009 | 5 Responses

I am officially trying to start a consumer’s panic buying frenzy on an item in Sainsbury’s. When doing my boring weekly food shop on Sunday, I spotted what is arguably the most reasonably priced, inspired gift for any knitaholic.

When an Old Knit Dies….

Published by on October 11, 2008 | 6 Responses
