Festiwool 2016
Festiwool will always be special for me. Back in 2014 it was my first outing as GardeningWitch Designs. I shared a stall with my very good friend, Jane, who was selling her lovely crocheted jewellery as Knitted Jam. I was very nervous – would people like my products? Would they buy from me? Would …
