sewing up, you are most welcome to join us, the more the merrier.<br/>We’ll be around most of the day, so come and find us in St Peter’s Gardens this Thursday.<br/><br/> </p>http://parkyouryarn.tumblr.com/post/21263111595http://parkyouryarn.tumblr.com/post/21263111595Tue, 17 Apr 2012 11:50:25 +0100<img
