I so love knitting. It helps me relax in the evening and when I have a quiet afternoon. I just love simple patterns most of the time that I can do in front of the TV! I also enjoy some challenging work occasionally, usually aran cardigans and jumpers and vintage patterns. Vintage patterns can often be challenging because they are written out differently to modern patterns and you’re left wondering what to do next and how far to go! But I just can’t resist buying them.
