Late last year, I went to the
Wool Sanctuary to spend the day learning how to knit socks with the fab-u-lous Suzie Johnson. During the course of a very long day - 9 to 5 - Suzie is very generous with her time, I learnt how to knit using four needles, a new method of casting on, a new way of picking up stitches, how to turn a heel and how to graft the toe together at the end for a lovely neat finish.

It was such a lovely day, just two of us sock newbies and Suzie, and a very focused and intense day.

I did then come home and knit the other sock and I am very proud of them - far too good for wearing though!!
If you want to learn to knit - I can highly recommend Suzie, after all she was good enough for
Kirstie Allsopp!!

Before I go - I'd like to wish you all - A very Happy New Year x.
