Engaging in a cheeky bit of bed knitting early this morning whilst it was chilly outside. Onto the hem ribbing and I hope to hit my first sleeve this afternoon! Well on track to be finished for KAN!

I’m really pleased to hear Jan has found support and a resolution for her woes. There is some great selfless work going on in Dunedin by her and her volunteer knitters

Knitter Jan Aitken was at work one day when she got a phone call telling her she was breaking the law. “I thought, holy hell.”
