A Yarn and Reading Storm

I recently discovered Jane Brocket's heart lifting blog.

For someone who occasionally has madly obsessive bursts of knitting, who loves cake, loves reading and often needs to be cheered up, this is the blog for me.  Jane Brocket is hugely creative and writes well.  Her sense of colour is superb and she has published some terrific books on knitting, colour, cooking, quiltmaking gardens and games.  Her blog features posts on all these things, lots of cake and masses of inspirational photographs.  She is also a real reader and today has an excellent post about Dickens.  As we gear up for the bicentenary flood of all things Dickensian, here is someone talking sense and urging us to read the novels because they are great. Go and see and enjoy for yourself.
