The Easter Bunny Has been!
Hi everyone welcome to April.
I hope you survived the visit by the Easter Bunny and didn’t forget the real reason and promise of a new and better life that the chocolate eggs are meant to represent. It’s so easy to get caught up in the hype, especially in my household as my 7 year old wasn’t going to let me forget about the chocolate lol!
If you have been watching our last couple of newsletters you would have noticed that we now sell wool! How cool is that?! We also sell patterns, knitting and crochet needles and a whole host of other extras that you need when knitting. Come into our shop to see our range or visit us online, they are available on our website now so it’s much easier for you to shop from the comfort of your own home. I love the convenience of the modern age but I do still enjoy perusing the local shops, that’s still fun.
