Birmingham Pt 1

Well after a 5.15am awakening I finally managed to get down to Birmingham all in one piece. Today passed really quickly as well!

I didn't get much knitting done at all. Someone who shall remain nameless but whose link I will post when I get home pressganged me into stall minding for Ziggy of lucet fame. He gave me a quick lesson and left me to it whilst he went and did his presentation in one of the forums. Within two minutes of his leaving I made a sale and was well pleased with myself. Unfortunately it was the only sale I made for him :(

I have made a few purchases today. I put some of the large lockable clover stitch markers from Taj Crafts. These are the kind people who sent BlueADT a spangly crochet hook for me. Also on the purchases for today was some Sirdar Domino DK in a navy blue with a royal blue fleck on it.



They did also have some pinkish tinged but I didn't like that so got the blue.

More posts to come!!

On the spinning wheel front Nickerjac has told me that I have won an Ashford Traditional. It is missing a piece but apparently it should be relatively easy enough to pick up. I am not too worried about this as I did only have to pay £36 for it!! I've got Monday off work as well to recuperate from this weekend so I feel a visit to Texere may well be in the offing.....
