Restraint

For a trip to Ally Pally I think I have been remarkably modest in my purchases. Two skeins of Koigu - stash replenishment. One skein of hand painted laceweight from New Zealand - a firm called Touch Yarns which is about as good a name as you can get. Mind you, it was the colours that did it,which the photo hardly does justice to.

Plus a scrumptious shade card from an Aussie firm, and a few small bits of kit, is all there is to show for a bad case of sore feet.

Good day though, and lots of lovely talk with fellow makers. It is the talking to strangers that is the best part of days out like this: that and petting the yarn!
