Show 78 – Itches

Sorry the show’s a day late, but Mum’s birthday party went well yesterday, thanks to everyone who sent best wishes.
School holidays have started, two weeks off – with some luck I’ll get back to people who have left messages.

Show 75 – Finishing

A short show this week, but plenty of things to talk about (just not much knitting in the past week). I’m looking forward to getting started with the Vintage Twist wool that Sonia and Damo from ACS sent.
