INTRODUCTION
You can find me on Instagram and Ravelry. We also have a Ravelry group!
The Best Year Ever KAL is a year long knit along which started on 1st January 2017 and will be running until 31st December 2017. You knit 4 things that bring you lots of joy and you could win a prize!
It was an early start for this podcast, so I'm enjoying a (very strongly brewed!) cup of PG Tips to try and give me a bit of get and go! If you are in need of more tea inspiration, there is a tea recommendation thread in the Ravelry group.

The lovely Carol of A Single Strand Studio very kindly sent me two beautiful project bags - a Dumbledore's Army bag for me and a knitting one for you!
As the podcast turns one in a couple of weeks, this beautiful bag will be up for grabs to celebrate! So keep an eye out for the next episode to find out how to win!
A massive thank you to Carol - these bags are beautiful and so well made, I love mine! As well as visiting the Etsy shop, you can also follow A Single Strand on Instagram.
KNIT & NATTER
Since the last episode, we spent a lovely few days in Bologna, Italy.
I'd heartily recommend Buca Manzoni, if you're ever there - we had a couple of great meals there. I'd also recommend Lambrusco (sparkling red wine is delicious - who knew?!)
Always get gelato! And there's an amazing pizza place next to the two towers, where you can get a slice of margarita pizza for €1.50 and eat it in plaza watching the people go by.
We also went to Venice, which was beautiful, but was so busy I was quite glad I wasn't staying there!
If you're not scared of heights, climb Le Due Torri - the view over the city and the mountains beyond is beautiful.
I'm working on editing together all the video I shot while I was there, so keep an eye out for that in the next couple of weeks.
It's so good to be back! I'll see you soon, for another cup of tea!
