This is only one of two pictures I managed to take at the NEC as my camera batteries died. The lady on the right is from the Guild of Embroiderers and is being taught to knit by Brenda.
Here is 80% of my yarn purchases. The blue is alpaca, the emerald green linen, the brown camel and the green/white/brown variagated at the top is Nepalese wool of which I bought another skein that is currently on the needles being made into a bland moss stitch scarf for me.
Here are my crochet cotton purchases. I've seen the green in something finished and it looked tempting so glad to have been able to buy some. The ecru cotton on the right I will be using to make the gilot in the Vogue Classic Crochet collection book.
I bought these buttons and intend to use the two round ones (each round part is a different colour but this doesnt appear too well on the picture) on a secret project.
I then also picked up these buttons. The red ones are poinsettias and will be used on something for a christmas present. The bottom one are dogs related and I couldn't resist them.
I also picked up these two books. The Modular Knitting is for a friend of mine and the lace style was more for creative thought food than for the purposes of creating anything featured.
I got back into the office this morning to find that this book had been delivered on Friday. It was from my friend as a thank you present for the alpaca scarf that I made for her grandmother's 90th birthday.
Now time to go and hibernate and catch up on sleep.
