Questions for Me
Do you have a big box or bag of things you may need when knitting? I have a few small tins with a tape measure, stitch markers, a sewing needle and a pair of scissors and I put one of these tins in the bag with a new project when I start it along with a small notebook and pen. It sounds very organised which I suppose it is and means I can concentrate on the knitting I’m doing. Looking forward to seeing you again this week
