We arrived minutes after the 9:30 opening and left just after 4pm. We out-lasted most everyone except the merchandisers! It's a good thing too, as it took me almost that long to do the complete tour of vendors. There were so many knitters/friends to talk to. Knitters from my old London knitting group, students I taught, bloggers I read and co-workers from my old haunt London Yarns. I hardly had time to shop!!
And true to Brenda form, my camera made it out of my bag only a few times during the day. But that doesn't mean, that I didn't enjoy our conversations, Carol, Jan, Sharon, Linda, Buffy, Pat
I did finally get to meet Laurie M of Issues With Knitting. What a delight. A big, non-stop smiling kind of knitter. We did the 'blogger-taking-a-picture-of-another-blogger' thing.
The biggest surprise of the day was when I happened past the 'Shall We Knit' booth.
Another delightful knitter. So soft spoken, so undemanding of attention. And so creative! Brad Pitt, George Clooney and the T.I.F.F. be d----. My celebs are knit-designers and bloggers.
Between celeb gazing, we met for a picnic lunch under the trees. Then back into the hall to hear
Denise Powell and her take on using traditional quilts for knitting inspiration. Very inspiring. I never thought I'd say this, but I just might have to try that quilt/knitting thing.

Looking good!
Sounds like great fun and a good haul. I wish I lived down south with more access to events. I am a big Anne Hanson fan, too. Lucky you.
It was a delight meeting you too. I wish I had known you when you lived in London. :)
