I’ve been thinking a lot recently about who or what a hero is. I think partly because my life has changes so dramatically in the last few months but also because the word hero seems to be bandied about an awful lot at the moment.

If you’re looking for a pattern that’s perfect for mindful crafting then this is it! You have lots of time to think about how the yarn feels in your hands and count stitches in your head as you go. It’s perfect for sorting your thoughts into rows and boxes!
If you’ve never been to The Tunnels before, I would recommend it as a really cool place to go! It’s difficult to find the first time, but once you know where it is then you won’t forget again!

I haven’t even wanted to knit or crochet or anything.
I don’t know if you’ve looked out the window today but it’s a bit cold and snowy outside. We were supposed to be moving this weekend but it’s been postponed due to the Red weather warning for snow! We can’t get our car out and Teddy is even refusing to go out to pee! The… Continue reading It’s cold out there!
