Sharing Stitches By Chrissy Grace

I came across this fascinating project by the artist Chrissy Grace and thought what a wonderful idea it was ... unfortunately the lovely book with the description and explanation is not available until the end of November ... what a lovely Christmas present for someone though ... (hint, hint, Mr Whizz Kid!)
