Got sent to Coventry yesterday, as roving ambassador for Ruddington Framework Knitters' Museum, along with Sockrates Snail. Didn't buy an awful lot, but had a whale of a time, AND we had our photo taken with Meg Swansen (to follow). Items bought were rubbery stuff to turn socks into slippers, a couple of skeins of sock yarn for dyeing - one Blue Faced Leicester, one Wenselydale, and some silk and banana fibres to spin. Plus some Skacel Zauberball yarn that promises to only have one repeat per sock
. Saw dozens of people I knew, and Sockrates made lots of new friends.Since coming home I have run the Zauberball through the sock machine, just as a tube. No way can I make two even-slightly matching socks from this! Plus there are two yarn knots that make the colour change abruptly. It'll be great in a scarf though.
