Just back from a few days exploring the delights of Northern France and managed to finish my crochet skirt while I was there.

Now am just deciding whether to line it or not, decisions, decisons...

Just before I went I had a great couple of days at the Knitting & Stitching show.

I always love attending the show as it's a great opportunity to buy lots of lovely items, view exhibitions and catch up with beaders and suppliers I only seem to see at this show!

I was again restrained and didn't buy any beads- but I more than made up for it with my spending on yarn.

I love doing lots of little classes at the show as you can be introduced to a new technique without having to commit a lot of time or money. This year I did some lovely Japanese twisted thread embroidery and also spent an enjoyable hour making a felt flower brooch.
