OK, firstly I need to explain the massive sacrifice I’m making in order to write this post for you. I am currently sitting in a library and there’s a lake outside the window with ducklings in it.

Seriously, half a dozen little ducklings paddling about.

And yet, here I am, valiantly dragging my eyes away from them to write these words to you. I know you can feel the pain of this sacrifice. I also hope you will understand if my eyes keep straying from the screen because: ducklings.

Obviously, I didn’t come here to discuss ducklings as the post isn’t entitled My struggle with writing a blog post while ducklings paddled about in a lake outside the window. No, it’s yet another in my series of blog posts aimed at getting you to take up knitting and sewing because it turns out there are always more ways to entice you to join the crafty side!
