I haven’t got any photos for you.<\/p>\n

Not of knitting, anyway. Or crochet.<\/p>\n

I have a multi-coloured blanket underway. And I’m customising a jumper I bought in a charity shop – hand-knitted and brand new for \u00a36 –\u00a0 a fraction of what the wool would cost.I’ve also completed a shawl\/scarf\/wrap, which I think is *beautiful*. And I promise pictures of them all.<\/p>\n

But the biggest news of the summer is that our business went up the spout. Our friend and business partner jumped ship with threats and demands and it was horrible<\/em>. (It’s nothing personal, you know, just business O.o )<\/p>\n

So we started over. And if you are closely, or even vaguely, acquainted with anyone of the bearded persuasion, I urge you to take a look at our beautiful, handmade, organic, delicious oils. You can get to us one of two ways: www.beard-oil.co.uk<\/a> or www.firstolympian.com <\/a><\/p>\n
