What we're working on:

Allison has finished

Welcome

to the Flock by Julia Farwell-Clay (except for the grafting!),

in

Townhouse Yarns Camden Tweed. She had a traumatic experience

with a mis-counted cast on for the Twist

Pullover by Cecily Glowik Macdonald, which has since been

rectified, and made some progress on the Toddler

Hoodie she's been working on for a while.

Rachel is still working on the Coffee

Date with Mark Ruffalo shawl, and the rows are getting really

really long. And she's been doing a bit of spinning.

Wales in a Day

We recap our trip to Wales and the gloriousness that was this

year's Wonderwool Wales.

As well as the downside of large and busy festivals.
