Knit Nottingham on Nottingham (Part 1!)
Posted by Casper Alixander on
We talk a lot about yarn, knitting, crocheting and making on these blogs, so that's the first half of our name sorted. But, we never really talk about Nottingham itself.

I tried so many times over so many years to get the hang of knitting but... alas, it did not happen.
