Sarah M @Dowanhilldame Dec 21 This series gets better with every episode as we learn more about the contestants (and judges - Di is adorably sincere). The challenges are inventive and I know a lot more about techniques etc; mind you - not surprising since I am not a knitter. Hooked! See more Read all reviews
