Cue drum roll, a slightly mad dog and a mixing bowl…
Well done ItwasJudith, because it was, and commiserations everyone else. Remember, it isn’t whether you win or lose, it’s where you place the blame.

/ December 7, 2015No commiserations required – that was so much fun to watch! It’s good to know that Siddy isn’t the only pup who gets over excited and out of his tree when there is a camera in operation 🙂 The happy winner will be knitting something gorgeous! Well done Mr and Ms Snail! and Sam ❤
