    We loved the longies you made for Jake. He's just outgrown them, so they're moving on to a new owner. But now I want some Storm to make some more!!

  12. Wherever do you find the time? I'm extremely impressed and more than a little bit in awe :-D Also, I can't believe you've finished your rainbow kercheif already - it looks lovely.

  13. @ Helen - I craft as soon as the kids go to bed, so I basically have at least a couple of hours each night. The rainbow kerchief was done quickly because Daniel was off work and let me have some time to knit, I was also taking it out with me when we visited people, it was a really easy pattern so I could cat and knit at the same time.
