I got my yarn twisted round the bobbin and flyer when demonstrating at Fernie Country Fair on Sunday because I was enthralled with the music and display of these JCBs – it was superbly choreographed –
Bob was my skein holder while we were on the boat – even the yarn seemed ‘watery’
I knew Mrs Pole was sitting somewhere but couldn’t find her. Last year she arrived with one chick in tow. Today she arrived with 12! five white, four grey, two brown and one black (I think that’s twelve…) She is so small I would only say she could cover 9 eggs at the most but […]
