We do 8 courses (papers per year) - usually 4 a semester (2 semesters a year).Kimberley https://www.blogger.com/profile/17146156270002756428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-3017826328457593262017-05-13T10:13:18.995+01:002017-05-13T10:13:18.995+01:00The pattern and yarn are a great combination, I...The pattern and yarn are a great combination, I'm very pleased at how they've turned out.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-37251792808646731522017-05-13T10:12:12.256+01:002017-05-13T10:12:12.256+01:00Thank you.
