Show and Tell (part 1)

This weekend, and friend and I went to the Stitch and Craft Show at Olympia and had a grand day out. I thought I'd do a show and tell of all the lovely wool I bought. Tomorrow I'll do a show and tell of the amazing things I saw at the show.

Here goes, take a look at these gorgeous additions to my wool stash!!

Sublime Cotton DK and Sublime Cashmere Merino Silk DK


Sublime Cashmere Merino Silk in the yummiest orange I've ever seen!

Sublime Baby Cotton Kapok DK in delicious pinks and blue

Wool glorious wool - Over £250's worth for just £110!!

There was a stand doing a £1 fabric lucky dip so I dived in and had two goes! Look what lovely fabric I got!



There was also a Make and Take table, we had a go at decopatch and I have to say it might just be my new little obsession! I totally loved it and have plans to decopatch many things in the near future :) The funniest thing was that we were the only grown ups at the table, and both my friends had finished their hearts before I had even turned over to do the back! (ever the perfectionist, but I tried really hard at being slap dash!).


Look what I did!

Totally love the peonies!

Come back tomorrow for a look at cats, dogs, a village and gorgeous quilts.

My first woolly post!

A few weeks ago I ordered some wool online which mean that a few days later I got my first ever woolly post! Any knitter/crocheter will know how exciting this can be!

I bought some random colours to build up my stash and I quite like how these look together. I'm sure they'll be destined for a project soon.



These colours are working on a secret project at the moment and they really look great together!


I'm quite liking how this Stylecraft DK Special is turning out. It's lovely and soft and not fluffy. Would be great for scarves as it's not in the least bit scratchy. And I see myself buying many more colours in the near future!!

Have you had any woolly post lately?
