Hi Sunflowerfairy
The knitting is coming on really well.
Think of you often and loved reading the 100 things about you.
Hugs to you.
Hi, I enjoy reading your blog, I have nothing to do at work, bittersweet... Do you sell your work ever? I need some sweaters, and hate commercial clothing... and have no talent in knitting, only sewing... anyway, hmm... yep, just wondering...
