So, who made anything for Halloween this year?

WIPs
…How long did it take me to realise what the mystical acronym ‘WIPs’ actually meant! No, it’s not people talking about some sort of horse-riding craft – it stands for Works In Progress! Doh!

Graffiti knitting = :-)
I recently read a great article showcasing some of the prettiest yarnbombing I’ve ever seen! It was a tree in a forest completely covered in a multi-coloured cobweb made of yarn.
