Posted by vicki brown on

This week has been super productive. On Sunday we ripped up the last carpet. We'd left this one as there was a storage heater in the way.

Posted by vicki brown on

I started knitting this cardigan way back in the summer after Milo declared, in the midst school uniform shopping, 'you can knit me a school jumper if you like'. I was thrilled to say the least.
