Allison Wells

map-pin Old Basing, United Kingdom

Sirdar, James Brett,King Cole and Paintbox yarns are my favourite for knitting & crochet which I do every day as I am Disabled & mainly housebound. All of the items I make are given to charity shops or friends & neighbours. I also sew & love my garden and make Birthday & Wedding cakes & bake bread every day with scones & cupcakes, also given away, I just like to keep busy & enjoy doing these things, I am making Christmas cakes now (Sept) & chilli Jam from my own chillis grown in the greenhouse.
