So..... what is Thermoma-knits?

The lovely M has taken some photos for the blog but has taken them off to some foreign parts in his super phone/camera machine. I have a little sort of regular phone the  most exciting thing about it being the pedometer on the face which reminds me that in order to eat as much chocolate as I do daily ( who can resist Green and Blacks, Milk Chocolate, 3 little rectangles only adds up to 59 calories, I have to walk atleast 10,000 steps a day as recommended by the British Heart Foundation, yes yes......
