WOOLLY THINKING CD
How did we get into all this?
Where do the inspirations come from?
Why do we work this way?
Why are there no coloured pictures in our first books?
You will find the answers to all these and much more besides.
What you don't get:
Patterns. There are no patterns (except for two specially written toilet roll covers)
The CD does not replace Woolly Thoughts or Second Thoughts. It should be thought of as an add-on although it will also be of interest to many who have not read either of those books.
