This is a very strange blog to be writing… I have so much to say about everything that is happening, but at the same time I have no idea what to say. So first of all – I hope that wherever you are, you are safe and well x

To anyone reading this who works for the NHS, in the food industry, in schools or any other essential services that are working so hard to keep us safe and well – thank-you thank-you thank-you x

Like many of you – we’re holed up at home, but we’re okay. Beardie has an underlying health condition so we’re very grateful that we’re in a position to be able to follow the guidelines of social distancing in order to protect ourselves and others.

If you’ve got a bit more time on your hands than usual and you’re looking for new projects – I have quite a few free patterns available on my Ravelry and Love Knitting pattern shops. I have added a 50% discount to ALL of my paid-for patterns on Ravelry (no code needed). Please note – this is on Ravelry only so if you prefer to pay full price you can hop over to my Love Knitting shop.

There are quite a few small projects on there which would be perfect for stash-busting, or if you have the financial means to buy new yarn – I encourage you to buy it from your local independent yarn shop. A lot of them also have online shops or are developing creative ways to get yarn to your doorstep (whilst maintaining a safe distance!).

Look after yourselves x
