My FO count is up to three now as I finished off two more pairs of sock started in 2009. I finished off the Possum socks. They are so beautifully soft. These socks were made with yarn I bought in Paris when we met Lynne and Nathan. There wasn’t much left to do on them [...]

I was knitting on the train all the way up to Leeds to the amusement of my project team so when we passed a yarn shop on the way to the conference venue they all pointed and laughed. We were quite tired on the second day after working quite hard so I sent my team [...]

Just in case you didn’t get enough cute. My colleague brought her Schnoodle puppy in and I didn’t want to give him back. I have a weakness for small animals! I’m away for a couple of days now and I’m back Friday evening. Don’t forget to enter my 1000th post contest – closing Saturday morning!

I was looking through the photos I took just after Christmas and saw these lovely wreaths I’d photographed when pao and I were taking a walk around the village. They are so cheery, I thought I’d share them with you. Stay warm!
