For my summer of basics, I have planned to knit a summer Jumper, based loosely on the one that I bought last year for Spikes Funeral because I didn’t own anything thing that was yellow enough for the day.

I finally have another FO to show off, and this time there are actually two of them… I have been back at work during January which is the earliest that I have been back at work for many years and when packing my kit up it dawned on me just how cold it would be! But I didn’t account for… Read more »
