    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 🎄

    Thank you @Coxy11 for all that you do on this thread - it has really been important to me this year. It has been stability and friendship :) 

    Really looking forward to next years as I move onto the second half of medical stuff :) 

    I hope everyone has a good Christmas and a peaceful and happy 2026

    My my child asked if I could sew him something for christmas as he thinks the things I sew are cute - so I made him this :) Back does not quite line up but the best I could do. I will put it peeping out of his stocking :)
