the craft shop I went all the way to Hailsham to visit last wednesday was CLOSED would you believe it, and so instead found myself in a sewing shop called the Pumpkin Patch, which was really inspirational. wish I would sew - got put off completely at school in the 2nd year when, having been pushed into the sewing class (instead of art) we spent the next 10 weeks to the end of term making a green apron FOR COOKERY! now, I cant sew or cook (dreadful lessons!) and have been making up for lost time ever since, going on arty/farty courses whenever I can..
However, I can knit (squares and long squares) and I love exciting wool/yarns whatever. Love the big chunky needles and this wool was made up into a small blanket in the shop - it looked so lovely I bought a ball (yes, just one because I doubt very much it will get to blanket stage) but its therapeutic and something to do while watching tv instead of eating chocolate.
