I once looked into the application process for nominating someone for an OBE (we used to have a truly remarkable postman called Ken who definitely deserved one) but it looked far too complicated. I’m tempted to try again, so we can get Rachael Matthews to be awarded it by the Queen. Maybe if the Queen met Rachael she would appoint her as her royal successor. I think it would make sense.
Rachael set up Cast Off Knitting Club and now runs Prick Your Finger, the best haberdashery shop in the world. Her house, above the shop, is like her own natural palace – purposefully wonky, designed by a crazy architect in the eighties, full of random, fascinating stuff.
I strongly suggest reading Rachael’s blog. It’s the only blog I read apart from this one. Those are her hands in the picture above, writing it…

This lady is indeed a fibre goddess! Good find, Sonja.
