I have so many patterns already
To make clothes for Janie and Freddie
I ought to get started
But I can’t bear to be parted

@dubhels2003 – you’ve just reminded me of a funny story that happened to my brother – he and his girlfriend were backpacking around England – it was freezing, so they went into a shop selling clothes/woolly things and asked for a ‘beanie’ – the little old lady was most taken aback and insisted they had the wrong shop, and they needed one further…[Read more]
