Knitting show my arse

Yesterday a group of us (Impressionist , Glenda, Emily, Pinkphish) drove down to Harrogate and paid £12 to get into the Knitting and Stitching Show. Most of us had been last year and though it wasn't our favourite show ever it yielded some interesting purchases and we had a fun day out. I'm afraid to say that this year we were less than impressed with what was on offer. There was no big Rowan stall with bargin books, no House of Hemp and just a lot less knitting stuff generally.

I did manage to purchase some pom pom makers, which I've been wanting for a while, some lovely lace weight alpaca and some possum yarn, which I would otherwise not have got. However, considering the number of people there, which caused a massive crush and the quality of the stalls overall, I don't think we'll be making this trip again.

It wasn't all bad. We had fun on the journey, during lunch and afterward in Costa Coffee. It was lovely to see Dawn who met up with us and came away with one fabulously large button. I think we're pretty much in aggreement that we won't be coming along to this show next year. We also agreed that we quite enjoyed going somewhere together and that maybe we should find a better destination for it.
