The 12 days of Christmas
Oh my… I have been sharing so much on social and in the newsletter that I momentarily forgot about the blog… I am so sorry to my lovely readers. What was I thinking?! I was so happy that I’d actually organised myself and managed to do the 12 Days of

Weekly Stitches (Week 11)
After finishing the first version of the neckerchief idea last week, I thought I might step back and join the Ravenscar Cardigan pieces. Or pick up another WIP. Or finish something that’s been waiting patiently in a bag. But of course… I cast on something new. Knitting with Cumulus and
