We had an early morning start and were in the marketplace just after 9am. It was just the right amount of busy at that time - but two hours later, and it became quite claustrophobic! I almost had to start swinging my pointy elbows!
I hadn't intended to buy anything (indeed I only took cash for entry, gas and lunch) - but isn't it always the way that when you don't have money you find everything you've been searching for - and when you do have money, you can't find a darn thing?
So I had to break out the credit card....and on more than one occasion!
Just look at the lovely things I got:

This kit is going to become Earth and Sky by Stephen West and will hopefully resemble something like this:

Then I spotted the perfect companion yarns for some special Tanis Fiber Arts Yellow Label DK that I picked up from Cotton-by-Post yesterday.

 |
| Shelridge Farm DK Soft Touch "natural" and "black" colourways |
I'll use one skein of the Tanis Fiber Arts in the "lemongrass" colourway, and the skein of below.

And as if this wasn't enough of a yarn frenzy, then I happened across a beautiful skein of Wellington Fibres yarn that will make a wonderful pair of mittens for my sister for Christmas.

And lastly, I saw a magnetized pattern holder that I simply had to have. This will make my life so much easier when I knit at night.
