Knitting and Stitching Show - London

We had a fabulous time and I have loads of ideas!! Bought to much, but as i said to my husband " You never see this stuff anywhere else!". My absolutist favoritist shop was there "Oliver Twist"!! I know you can get things cheaper else where, but they are always friendly, have wonderful colours and there things are of a good quality.

The exhibitions were wonderful and were very inspiring. Here are some pic's -

A wonderful boat in the entrance hall



Yarns suspended from the roof in the entrance hall

International felt Makers were there


Pieces which took my eye.......... that you could take photos of!





A quilt made out of Guinness cans!! Would of loved to of drank them!!!

This was my first time and wont be my last. It was defiantly worth traveling down too.

New Wool

Iv purchased some new wool this week and I aspect most of you are like me.......... As soon as the parcel turns up you cant wait to play with the goodies!

These are the scarfs and shawls that have been made. The pink shawl is merino wool, though a have a suspicion that it may be mixed with something as its turned out quite textured and not as smooth as normal. Quite different!

The turquoise and light blue are merino mixed with silk fibre and merino underlined. I must admit I'm in to minds to keep the light blue one. The picture doesn't do it justice!


Bangles!!

I was in a clothing stall the other day and noticed all the chunky jewellery. As a crafter would think "I will have a go at that!" So here are my experiments. My Shetland sheep wool is brilliant to needle felt and in rather pleased with these. Especially the multi coloured ones.


Hair Clips

I said I had been making these in my last post and I have finally taken some photos!

Needle Felted Decorations

As you've seen iv been making some Christmas decorations. In addition iv been also making some cutie hearts and angels.

Sorry for the quality of this picture!
