Knitting and Stitching 2017
Oct. 22nd, 2017 03:59 pmGoing backwards... I did get to Ally Pally for the Knitting and Stitching Show this year.
The regular lovely coachload. Reasonable journey down: especially the last bit through the back streets and red-brick houses near Ally Pally. We even passed this: Grand Designs: Haringey. Just a quick glimpse. I don't think from the TV I'd realised what a constricted site, on such a slope, but very fine.
The shopping at the show was mostly a disappointment: fewer small vendors, and some big ones missing, and my shopping list mainly unbought.
The exhibitions, and craftspeople on site, however, were glorious. So I spent more time looking. Hence I probably learned more and had a more useful experience.
