Have a wonderful and Happy Easter! I hope you have had a peaceful and wonderful day. This feels like a long time in coming as pao gave up chocolate for Lent and I felt a tiny bit guilty eating it in front of him!!
I created myself a little secret sock club a while back where I wrapped up a load of stash yarn and now I dip in from time to time to knit a surprise. This time I picked out some Rowan 4 ply. There is quite a bit and I last knit Anna socks which I [...]
