The hard-faced woman in my driving license photo is a stranger, too. WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?

Hope the weather improves for the lambs. It's been pretty bad (cold, wet) so far. Also hope your friends have a good home for all that gorgeous wool!

We have lambs in the field opposite us today! Very on-point for Easter. I reckon they are about 3-4 weeks. Sturdy. Here is April from Karen Turner's stitch journal. There are a few I really like, and a few that I had to remember that no frogging was allowed. I'm off to start swapping more "spri...
