Knitting and Stitching show - Alexandra Palace 2007
Posted by thomasinaknits under stash enhancement
On Sunday Ellen, Aliki, Helen and I visited the Knitting and Stitching Show at Alexandra Palace. There were loads of amazing yarns there and I think I did very well to come away with just one skein of Lorna’s Laces Helen’s Lace in Black Watch and three of Louet Gems Superfine/Fingering merino sock yarn in teal.
The Helen’s Lace is for a shawl to match a dress for my cousin’s wedding in early December so if anyone has/knows of any lovely shawl patterns which would be suitable (and not take too long to knit!) let me know.
The Louet Gems is for the Thelonious socks by Cookie A (for which I also bought the pattern at the show) - I accidentally bought one skein too many but it’s so lovely I don’t really mind.
So you tripped and fell on that extra skein of yarn huh?
It was a genuine mistake! If I’d “tripped and fallen” I would have got it in a different colour
*smirk*
lovely stuff though.
(that said - i’m glad you’re going to wind the lace yourself.
