I have to say I was surprised to find your blog was about knitting in Turkey. That is a definite one-off. I was expecting to find 10 turkey recipes. Even more surprising, my wife is a knitter and crocheter and she loves unique yarns. It's a small world.
ReplyDeleteI came across you on Twitter...actually I was helping my FIL to "search people" with similar interests and found you :) Great points about Turkey. I have been living abroad for the past 10 years and planning to move back. It's nice to hear an expat's point of view. Looking forward to sharing patterns. Btw, I am also on Ravelry, will look for you over there as well...
