so, we are nearly at the end of January.  The new year resolution by Aunty Biscuit not to buy any yarn until the stash is a bit reduced hasn't yet been broken, I'm impressed.  The sheep is not going to have a gusset but is going to be a bit rounder, I retain a watching brief.  The finished teacosy & cafetiere cover around which the button debate was centered is having the pattern written up as I blog and should appear on the website soon, job nearly done.  The cold weather has given Harrier the perfect excuse to spend a great deal of time snoozing either on the sofa or by the radiators.  It turns out that the collie had been bathed as she had a trip to the vets for a check up.  She has managed to subsequently find some mud to smear on her back so is nearly back to normal.
