Once upon a time, there was a duck-billed platypus, a blue-footed booby and a monkey.. sound good so far? That's the story that's currently being played out in my flat as a result of my feverish pre and post Christmas knitting.

this handy patten, it now resides in it's own little 'flame-lace' (Kindle, flame - get it??) cosy.
Well, that's it for now but I can exclusively reveal that I have another project on the way which could be very exciting (for me at least) indeed. Will keep you posted..
