The period June 1 to July 31 is a blur - we moved studio, workshop, office, yarn stocks and living accommodation at this point - hard work, mad hours and lots of muscle. Still we did it and the accommodation is proving a vast improvement. Hence the erratic communications whilst in boxes and bags! August was devoted to the rebuild of our workshop where Carmen and I make all the tools we list.
