    Can you believe it? I’d almost lost hope, but yes it is true, the sun is out and spring IS HERE! I feel it immediately makes such a difference on the general mood surrounding us – there is a little skip in people’s step, a smile on their faces, and over all the ‘soul of…

    Virtual Knit Night November 10th

    Sometimes, no matter what an organising mastermind you are, things don’t work at plan. And today is such a day for me. I am supposed to be on a plane going to Norway tonight, and there are full on strikes happening across the public transport network in London. To be able to get to the…
