Well, not quite, but Emily & I did escape from deepest Devon on Saturday, taking a train to Ally Pally in London to see the Knitting & Stitches show. And very good it was too. We laughed a lot, got lost a little and found lots of inspiration for projects to see us through the winter. There was a ton of gorgeous wool to squeeze, fabulous fabrics to coo over and heaps of buttons to fondle, not to mention the exhibitions and displays. My favourite of which has to be an old truck door which had been used as the canvas for a display of flowers, done in cross stitch. Very cool. Watch out for Ford stealing that idea!
No train journey would be complete without a little crochet, so my Ally Pally Mitts were born. Made in Rico essential soft merino aran, from the shop and embellished with pretty Liberty fabric buttons bought at the show.
Katrina & Emily give it large in London....it was an awesome Ho'trip, and would certainly recommend for next year that we go en masse.
