Colorful and easy work lunch

I always struggle to come up with ideas for my work lunches.

My first choice of yarn was a bit of a disaster. It was fluffy and tangled all the time so I had to undo my stitches a lot – quite a frustrating experience for a beginner. I then went on a quest for the perfectly smooth yarn! And returned home with a few balls of shiny cotton yarn – I was so excited.  Continue reading
