Hello friends and fellow knitters, I am sorry it has been a long time since my last post…in fact, 7 months! What a year 2020 has been. I have spent a few weeks thinking about what to talk about and have had a multitude of conflicting ideas. I have tried to come up with some …
Happy New Year? Knitting to keep me sane! January, 2021.Read More »
Hello fellow knitters, crocheter’s, friends, family and random readers. What a busy few weeks since my last blog! My main activity has been sewing face masks. There was a mad rush of orders when the pandemic really kicked in, and then when there were lots of folk selling masks, it slowed down. When it became …
Well, where do I start? 2020 is not turning out to be the year that we thought and hoped it would be. My previous post talked about the loss of my lovely Dad on 30th January, and my attention was focused on supporting Mum. A couple of months of planning, coming to terms, making plans …

I have three Grandchildren, and one on the way, due September 2019. They are all boys except for one, Edith Sigley-Linch (Edie) who is four years old in July. I was blessed to have two healthy happy sons, who are now both fathers, so it is with a bit of a novelty that I buy …

I was pondering an interesting question the other day. What is so joyful about attending wool shows? I had been planning on exhibiting at a wide range of shows this year, but was stopped in my tracks by a critical health issue. I was desperate to go to The Wool Monty because it was a …
