Virtual Knit Night April 29th
Stock take – check, Accounting – check, VAT return – check, new yarns up online – check, instagram and blog post done – check! Another week filled with screen time for me, so much that the numbers started floating in front of my eyes and I was jumping spread sheet columns in my dreams. It…

Story Time – Hoddmime’s Forest
In Norse mythology Ragnarok is when the humans and gods collide in conflict and despair. It is the end of the world, in fire and battle, and almost all gods and humans die. The description of the end times does not sound great, there will be a winter lasting for several years, kinsfolk and friends…

Virtual Knit Night April 22nd
We are still working with reduced staffing in the shop to maintain social distancing, meaning that Thursdays are my ‘work from home’ days.

But…

Virtual Knit Night April 8th
One of the ‘weird’ UK particulars I learned when moving to London is that the tax year starts April 6th. Yes, that’s right, not January 1st but a few days into April. This also means that we have to do our stock take at this time, so the day before yesterday we counted all the…
