knitting and stitching show

I visited the show earlier today, the last day it was running. Atypically, I couldn't seem to muster any excitement beforehand. In fact, I would probably have given it a miss had I not bought my ticket months ago. 

But I did go and even managed to enjoy the day mostly thanks to my awesome companion Marisa - who enables like no one else!

But I'm absolutely knackered now so instead of words, here are highlights of my day in pictures.

{Tall Yarns 'n Tales}

{Emma Garry, an old favourite} 

{Oliver Twists another old favourite}

{Low Lands Legacy with a 'spindle' (a Bogway Spinner ) I'd never seen before.
Do you see the arc the spinner creates as it travels around?}

{here's the funky spindle again}

{these yarns were über lush!}

{Baby Camel and Silk, mmmmm}

And the bits I liked from the arty side of the show:

{a cross stitched truck door}

{an embroidered front door}

As I couldn't afford much today, I made notes of those items I would like to buy sometime - maybe.
