Only a few days ago, I lamented that Vogue Knitting’s website has been down for months and months and — voila! it’s suddenly back up again. I can only conclude that the powers that be at VK read my blog and, realising my distress, set to work immediately to rectify the situation.

A power like this could be a pretty exciting prospect! Do you think if I mentioned that I really want some lovely wooden needles for Christmas they might magically arrive at my door? A girl can hope, can’t she?
