Accidentally bought more yarn. It's so squishy and lovely.

Introduce yourself with the name your parents almost gave you:
Ruth
It was actually my name for several hours until mum decided to change it as it didn't suit me.

Apparently my father was having none of it. Left to my own devices I'd probably choose Marianne which isn't without precedent, as my great-grandmother was Mary Anne

Introduce yourself with the name your parents almost gave you:
Wilfred. It’s why I use it.
Although I do joke sometimes that I’m named for my *mum’s* favourite gay WWI poet, if I were named for my *dad’s* it would be Siegfried.

This is turning into a bit of a Bobby dazzler. Whatever the plan was it's lost to the mists of time. One of the least stressful rug hooking pieces I've done. 🧶
