Knitting for other knitters is sometimes nerve-wracking; sometimes exhilarating and sometimes it pushes you into stretching your boundaries. This year was all three! I knew the intended recipient...

I got the message just as Wales were scoring their second try against Ireland,... Yvonne 2011-10-08T21:30:12+00:00 http://andallthatstash.alltangledup.com/archives/002129.html There is a delay in finishing my Rowan Exchange gift for this year: I bought cobweb instead of 2ply and can barely see or feel the yarn.

Typical London bus passenger behaviour then ensued - everyone scrambling to get off the bus & onto the next one! The bus driver looked rather bemused when I stayed seated...

Very little knitting was done but I hope Saturday's walking burned off...
