Two weeks in a row...




This week's offerings include Coupling socks (yes, that's right) and a helmet type hat for Tom (a Norman chain mail item according to some). Had fun teaching some kids to knit at a craft event although some found it really challenging and ended up doing crochet chain with their fingers instead. Blogging with images is proving difficult but possible. Hopefully T will keep this hat on and the wind won't be quite so cold this week.

January's offering: Spindle socks in Laines du Nord 'Giunco':
