Friends & Family
I had one of those amazing weekends where I got to spend time with friend (and meet some new friends) and see some family (most of whom I haven’t seen since my wedding).
A few weeks ago, Alice announced that she was planning a launch party for her online store, knowing that we were going to a wedding over the same weekend, I had to decline the invitation, but over the last few weeks the buzz on the Ravelry London Board has all been about the party.
So I managed to convince the hubby that as the wedding wasn’t until the afternoon we could travel down in the morning.
As well as getting to see the iKnit regulars Alice, Emms and Laura (and Ross), I also got to finally meet Sharon and Arianne. Then there was the lovely ladies from Ravelry - Anna, Gabrielle, Izzie, Mel, Mulene, and Sarah. (I am sure I have forgetten someone - sorry if I have).
Aside from the wonderful company and food, the real reason were all there was to sample Alice’s wonderful finds - over the last few days she has been tempting us on the Socktopus Blog with images of Shelridge Farm, Dream in Color Smooshy and Chameleon Colorworks, and of course we all had to buy, buy, buy.
Of course, what you really want to see is what I brought…

It was really lovely to meet you on Friday night. I see I am holding my soctopus bag the wrong way around. It certainly took me a while to recover. It was out to swimming lesson on the Saturday by 9am, ballet at 11am and then back home to bake daughters birthday cake. Her birthday was on the Saturday. Sunday was spent a Build a bear birthday party, for which I had been frantically knitting a school jumper. Ahhhh so need some time to relax and stroke my new yarn purchases!!!!
