Wool on Sundays – 185 (A knit in time)
Well this is a surprise – a Wool on Sundays post! And another cake :) My little Grandson grows faster than I can knit and, so far, the jumpers I have made him have barely been tried on before he has outgrown them. So, given that he has just turned one year old, I thought […]

Happy Midsummer or Midwinter :) It seems like forever since I wrote a ‘New to Me’ post to link up with Fiona At Celtic Thistle Stitches – it’s so long, in fact, that I felt sure it was on the 15th of the month and I’ve just realised it’s not until 25th! No matter. I […]
