Hi all,
Lovely cards and how sweet to make an allotment planning one ❤️
I attempted to knit a mini Yoda, in the round, on Saturday. I kid you not, after around 20 attempts I gave up and knitted a mini piggy instead! DD has taken it to her room but I’ll try to get a photo tomorrow.I’m thinking about projects for next year. I need a laptop sleeve for my new role. Started a part time role (one day a week currently) with a mortgage broking firm and have had to buy my own laptop as I’m self employed. I really don’t want it getting scratched so as I’m now off until 5th January, I will use the time to get that sorted.Will start a new 2026 thread in between Christmas and the New Year so please look out for that.Thanks for your company this year and I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas 🎄
