Friend Sue and I had a fab day out at Get Knitted shop yesterday ( see above ). It was worth the one and a half hour journey to get to Bristol. The staff were charming and there were supplies of tea,coffee, biscuits and sweets available aswell as the essential loo! We lunched in the open air at a convenient snack bar next door.
I can recommend a visit here - it's spacious and zoned according to yarn supplier. There's a designated sock yarn area and you can sit on the comfy sofas and consider your prospective purchases ( I did actually put something back on the shelves! ). We felt right at home and dragged ourselves away three hours later after caning the plastic. I bought lots of Fleece Artist yarn, some sock wool, Addi Turbo needles and the Autumn Rowan magazine - a good issue. I would have liked to see some more knitting books there.
Becky, who works at the shop, is a prospective designer with an interest in childrens' knitwear so I have emailed her my contact details for Knit Today mag. Hopefully she will get some designs published - she specialises in boys' stuff.
Now comes the fun of deciding which project to start first!
