I once said my blog in not about selling, I don't do etsy nor folksy, the selling I do at the Little Village craft fair in the summer and an occasional one in the winter with my friend Nicolette. Sharing is something I think important in life. Be it worries, receipies, heartaches, sewing tips, money problems . . . anything can be shared, well almost ! 
And so today I share my favourite knitting pattern for strawberries. Very very easy ( I can't really knit) and quick to make . . . I know this should have been shared in the summer but I didn't so its happening now. Give it a go, and all the best.
