fourth edition

Mooncalf requested a picture of my Pine.
As the picture reveals, the cardigan’s green (which will shock and surprise many of my regular readers). I’m knitting it out of two threads of the same fingering-weight yarn which is an unusual experience for me.

Today we went to the Doctor Who exhibition at Kelvingrove.
