Dear Anne
Can you believe that having briefly worked for Jones+Brother as a demonstrator I’m back to square one? I also now live in Brittany in France where I finally have a room to myself for all of my crafting desires.

I’m currently hand knitting socks, as it gets a little chilly here especially around the feet. I’ll have to look out for patterns and instructions to knit them on my Brother 881 with ribber. Maybe now I can use all of those accessories that I bought all that time ago. I’ve had to replace the sponge bar, which I was able to get here and I’ve also given the machine a good oiling and reset needles.

So now I’m ready to go, especially as five large sacks of yarn came with us! Happy knitting to you all and I’m attaching a picture of ‘knitting and gardening central’ taken last year.

Best wishes
