Paid in Full in Bacon
The Salford Scarf took me 9 days to knit and it is lovely but jealousy may be a problem…. I was a Ā little worried about giving it to Lawrence….not that I thought LawrenceĀ wouldn’t like it but what his wife would make of it…especially as it was finished two days before Valentine’s day! LawrenceĀ said he was […]
