Posted by: Vicky on: 11 October, 2009
I spent a couple of evenings this week at the sewing machine. Yes, I know… sewing, not knitting! I haven’t actually done much knitting for a couple of weeks now. I started a jumper at knitting club this week, but I think I’m going to start over with it, because I don’t like what I’ve [...]

Back from India and gearing up for Christmas
Posted by: Vicky on: 20 December, 2007
I got back from India on Sunday. It was an interesting trip and although I didn’t get to see many sites, I think I got a good flavour of Indian life. The area I visited was quite different from the usual images of places like Delhi or Mumbai which are colourful and hectic. [...]
