In early October myself and a friend decided to go to the The Knitting and Stitching Show at Alexandra Palace, London. We booked on a coach trip and headed off with a whole bus load of knitters to a manic day of yarn and needles.
I don't think I have ever seen such a busy place with so many knitter related things. I was very lucky and was given a rather large budget for the day out, so my main aim was to come away with as much stuff as I could carry (and I did). We spent quite a lot of time there but once spent out we went to the pub to survey our purchases.
I got a Alpaca knitted toy kit from Purl Alpaca Designs
This looks rather complicated and I fear I may have bitten off more than I can chew.
A ankylosaurus knitting kit by Patons
This thing is big!! Looks amazing when finished as we saw it at the show and I fell in love with it! (note: husband does not know about this one due to the size of the finished item -lol)
I also acquired my first set of knit pro curricular needles and some Aracania Ulmo yarn
To finish my final item was a Chunky Chicken Kit by Sue Stratford.
This I have already knitted and will be my next blog.
