Of course I was NOT going to buy any 4-ply yarn as I have HUGE quantities of this. Mainly because I always have this 'it's only one ball' philosophy, but when you have done this a few times, at a few shows (and online), it seems to turn into over thirty balls. So, that is why you will see a hank of Jillybeans shetland/gotland 4 ply... I just couldn't leave it behind because of the fabulous colours. Of course, I have no idea what I will make with it... or when! I'll just add it to the pile.
I also found a short pair of 4mm Art Viva needles which are beautiful and just the right length for me. As I am mainly using 4mm needles at the moment for my current book I know these will get a lot of use. I also found a beautiful shawl pin (on top of the rabbit fluff) which I am going to use as a 'stuffing' pusher... into small knitted legs/arms etc...
Now onto the gorgeous Chunky Purl Alpaca... This is a new yarn which we can stock in the shop and I bought it to make something that inspired me at the show, more on this in the future (if it works)... It is a gorgeous yarn and I started swatching as soon as I got home...
Finally. The Shelves! I love them and spotted them on a Vintage stall. They weren't actually for sale but the lady said I could have them for £15. Total Bargain! So I am sitting working today looking at my lovely purchases and thinking what a great day out I had with my lovely friends.
