Variegated yarns, Imagiknit

San Francisco has to be one of my favourite places in the world, so I was delighted when we managed to shoehorn it into our recent holiday to the USA. When I say shoehorn it in, I mean it – we had already decided to go to Florida, so we decided it would be the […]

Sunset on Anna Maria Island

So I’ve just about recovered from the jetlag from our recent amazing holiday to the USA. For some reason this time the jetlag was horrendous on the way back – a combination of three different time zones, a daylight saving clock change and one of the worst long haul flights I’ve ever been on on […]

A WIP Week!

So, in all the excitement of preparing my entry for the Deramores blog competition last week, all of my other works in progress (WIPs) had been carelessly cast aside whilst I frantically crocheted my cushion.
