And of course, here is the proud new shop owner, Jo herself...
I dragged poor Dave along, where he tolerantly drank coffee and talked decor before hurrying off to visit Warwick's shops, leaving me alone with wool. I'm not entirely sure this was a good strategy on his part, but perhaps he's preparing his defence for when Andy and Heather open their new shop in a few weeks or so!I met up with the usual suspects from the knitting group, ate cake, drank tea, discussed Bob Marley and spent a long time browsing the many yarns on offer...
I think I was a bit overwhelmed with such a wide choice of very nice yarns and I carefully steered myself away from the Seasilk (a sort of silk and seaweed derived mix which was very pretty and soft to boot) and numerous other luxury end yarns, before settling on some blue/grey Alpaca.
I'm intending to turn it into a scarf - of course - but one for me, rather than for anyone else, which will be a first.I also picked up some more cotton to feed my ongoing addiction to washcloths.
Otherwise, I behaved... Honest. Of course, I may well have to go back that way sometime...In other news, today is Saturday and I've survived the first week of term! Hurrah!

Yay for your friends shop :-) looks lovely, nice and fresh and contemporary! just how we like em.
To be fair, although Dave may well be preparing his defence, we're also near a coffee shop and the shop next door to us is a Knitting and Crafting shop too, so if you get bored at ours, you can pop next door too!! how fab is that ;-)
