Birmingham - Day Four

Okay I know that this one is out of sequence but I've only just got round to it and if I do post it in sequence then nobody will ever know it existed!

Well most definitely by day four I had mentally lost it more than normal but I did manage to soothe myself with some purchases. First of all somebody had mentioned that they had these at Taj Yarns so I raced over and got a set.



I am working on the shawl using these although my SP7 did mention that they are not any good for lace work. Has anybody any experience of this at all?

Next up on the shopping spree I bought a handful of Clover goodies:



First thing in the morning though I decided to move over into the other hall and hobknob with the celebrities. I got their badge and also a dedicated signed photo for MM who was speechless at its arrival



The final day did eventually come to a close but in order to keep us going our leader started cheering us on.

Shawl Update

Here we have the fibre trends shawl that I am working on at the moment at its latest stage. Due to the dental stuff on Thursday I just haven't felt up to doing anything knitting wise although I am on row 59 at the moment of a (I think) 178 row shawl which doesnt include all the edgings. I am enjoying it but am finding I have to concentrate more than normal but I am tending to read a line or so below on the pattern so I think I am going to get one of the orienteering map bags where you have a plastic cover that you can write on and wipe off again.
