Hi all,

It’s August 2020 already. I think 2020 is going to go down in modern history as the year that time forgot. How can it be August? its strange having a summer where you can’t do the usual summery things without a great deal of forethought - barbeques with friends, pub lunches in the sun, going on holiday, heading off to the beach.

At least as crafters we can counterbalance the weirdness with activity. And with the weather being so unpredictable (sun one day, showers the next) with our multiple talents and projects we will never be stuck for something to take our mind off things.

And speaking about multiple things, have any of you started your winter / Christmas knitting yet? I feel like I should be mouthing the word ‘Christmas’ in a Miranda fashion - in case the thought of it upsets people.

It is inevitable though. I confess I am one of those folk who start sporadic present buying about this time, so that come December I have the bulk of it bought. It spreads the cost out over a few months as well. And for those of us who like to make our gifts, it pays to start fairly early so that you have TIME to get through your list - who hasn’t stayed up late on Christmas Eve to frantically sew in ends or rush the last few rows?

Anyway. Now that I’ve sown that seed into your heads, please keep en eye on the website over the next few weeks, as I turn my flippity-flop butterfly-like minuscule attention span to the task of updating the shop.

Keep an eye out and get on my case if its not happening quickly enough!

Cheers and happy knitting x
