If you follow me on Twitter, you’ll already know that I just discovered I live a one-hour drive away from the yarn-lovers paradise (aka the Bernat/Patons yarn factory outlet), and, as if that wasn’t exciting enough, there’s a big sale there this week – eek! I headed out there this morning, through what should have […]

oh no! more lemmings
Sorry, I couldn’t resist that post title! I am amazed by the response to my Lemmings, particularly on Craftster (7000 views and rising!).
