A round up of most of the making that I got done in 2020.

Although most crafters that both sew and knit consider knitting to be a winter craft and sewing is for the summer, I have always tended to be the other way round. The portable nature of knitting means that it is perfect for taking sailing with me over the summer, but even I was a bit surprised to find myself knitting… Read more »

So somehow May has arrived already, personally I am finding that this lockdown is going so quickly which is totally not what I was expecting from being forced to stay at home.
