      <image:title>Crafts - Ideas for your post-holiday recharging needs - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>My first (and only, so far) pair of socks I knit. The learning and the doing were a great way to recharge, even though they ended up two different sizes and I discovered I don’t like the sensation of wearing them. I learnt a new skill, got to make something, and now I have a wool sock for my hot water bottle when I go camping!</image:caption>
