Retail therapy at I Knit London

-
Friday - Sept. 10 - a quick trip on the Tube down to Victoria Station, a ten minute walk, and we're at the Horticultural Halls........

I was registered for a workshop with Marie Wallin -- but it turns out she was ill and couldn't make it - disappointing.

Oh well, while we were there, a bit of Retail Therapy was required to quell the disappointment!

A new Orange Herdy mug - and a matching tea towel.
A few copies of Alice's updated and expanded Aran Knitting






and an I Knit London bag to carry my new loot in!
