Thirty years on

30 years ago Keith and I had our first date. What a lot of water has flown under the bridge since then. Celebrated by spening the morning in the dentist as he has broken his top plate ...... Knitting goes apace. Have just designed tea cosies after a museum volunteer said there was a gap in the shop. Pricing remains a huge dilemma - worked out the Shetland wool cost £4.60 for the 36 grams it took. One hour's labour at £6.50, inclulding crocheting round the openings, washing and fulling. Designing and printing labels, etc. Asked half a dozen people at the musem on Saturday what they would pay - it varied from £4 to £12, so going to try them initially at £10. The other tea cosy there, in material with a couple of scaprs of triangels and buttons on it to represent birds, is on for £18.
