Wonderful Harrogate

where to start? fabulous fabrics

wonderful wools

beautiful buttons

errr ... ravishing ribbons?

fantastic fleece

sensational sock yarn

and so much inspiration...

below is the House of Hemp with such beautiful muted colours

batik is another of those crafts that I wonder about trying - but how many hours are there in a day?

loved these parrots - how about a bird cushion?

I have many more photos I could share with you - I really enjoyed having the chance to take everything in which two days allows you to do. Now I am going to the shed to unpack everything and take stock of what I bought. There will be some new necklaces and some knitting projects for the rest of my life the winter, an amazing piece of pink fabric for a shawl....
I bought some stunning yarn from Turkey sold by Parvi (no site) and began knitting fingerless mitts. Pictures to follow I promise.
Right now I have to go and unpack and thank Magrethe for her driving, her company and her organisation - great B&B! We have reserved our place for next year!

Wow, what a feast and not just for the eyes but all the senses by the look of your photos. What a great trip. I'm looking forward to seeing what creative delights emerge from the shed. Well done by the way for keeping that alliteration going!
