I'...Thank you, those are lovely things to hear. I'm a terrible sewer and am in awe of anybody who has the patience to make a quilt. If you like knitting then I absolutely promise you Fair Isle, and simpler lace patterns (which are all I dare tackle at the moment) do not demand the skill you might think looking at them - so don't be put off if you fancy having a go. (The free Shetland wool week hat pattern is an excellent place to start.)Desperate Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15708411387912078122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011557877105021955.post-44434183952317867692021-06-27T18:43:58.065+01:002021-06-27T18:43:58.065+01:00Just a note to say that over the years your posts ...Just a note to say that over the years your posts about cookbooks, drinks, books, etc. have been inspiring. Thanks for introducing me to Diana Henry! and River Cottage! I get them from the library so I look at the books before purchasing.. I have so many. ha Enjoy the jam. Things are just starting to ripen here in Midwest, US. Your knitting is beyond my skill, but so enjoy seeing the patterns and colors. I am much more a quilter and sewer. Take care. khatlovesJake@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14110533531886456530noreply@blogger.com
