Yesterday I travelled to Get Knitted in Bristol. I had wanted to go there for a long time and decided that yesterday would be the day. I had looked on the website and found that they were selling Sublime merino silk aran extremely cheaply. Armed with a couple of Kim Hargreaves pattern books in case I got tempted I made my way to Brislington in Bristol. It is about thirty miles or so from where I live so it was a bit of a trek but worth it. It is a large shop with lots of space and almost every yarn imaginable. I managed to get the Kim Hargreaves Nectar book that I had been looking for for a while and the aran yarn. I also bought some Sublime Organic Cotton. With my purchases in hand, I went home.After a couple of hours at home rolling in my yarn, I decided I would look at the pattern books I had taken with me to match purchases to patterns. After half an hour of panic, I realised I had left them at the shop. Doh. I had to drive all the way back to pick them up. What a pain. To make it seem like my afternoon wasn't completely wasted, I combined the second excursion with a trip to Ikea which is only a couple of miles from Get Knitted. A tough job but someone has to do it. All in all, a big day out.
I forgot to take a photo of Get Knitted to show you so I have posted a photo from our upstairs window to make it more exciting. Did it work? I hope to have a photo of the yarn tomorrow just to show you. Have a look at their Sublime sale if you get a chance.
