On Saturday, my friend Hannah and I traveled down to London to attend The Knitting and Stitching Show 2010 at Alexandra Palace.

On a slightly separate yet related subject, I've been going overboard on the pattern front again. I REALLY need to stop buying news ones, but I just can't seem to resist them. I think that if I didn't sew I'd probably still collect them and fill myself with nostalgia for times that I never even experienced. Anyway, here's what I've been spending money on lately:

ReplyDeleteSigh. Serious jealousy of both fabrics and patterns.
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit scared of the toddlers with beehives though - they look like shrunken women...
Haha! Yes, Lauren I know what you mean...they are like something from that horrible programme called 'Toddlers and Tiaras' **shudder**
ReplyDeleteOh my! I want to come to your house and steal your patterns! I'm swooning over 3238 and 3302!
