So it’s new season time again. I have of course already thought a great deal about what I want to make (what else is there to think about while I do my running in the beautiful forest…) but I thought I’d share my trend ideas with you too. So here are...

Why am I not posting much at the moment? Well, I still have my full time job, am drafting patterns and taking classes – and then I’m training for Sunday. On Sunday I’ll be running a 5K to raise awareness – and money – to support the fight...
