Mrs Webmuppet Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Anyone going to the knitting and stitching show at Ally Pally? I'm going on the Friday by coach with some of the ladies from our church craft club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egzandra Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I might do, haven't made my mind up yet. We live quite near being in North Herts. I would have liked to try out some lighter weight machines as I am thinking of buying one to take to classes, but on looking at the exhibitors they don't seem to have many different brands to choose from. Am debating whether to get the Janome 525S or one of the H range Husqvarnas. Hope you enjoy it if you go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Yes, I'm going on Wednesday 8th. It's the first time I've been, I'm meeting a friend there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Well, I went and it was absolutely brilliant. It's the first time I've been to a 'stitchery' exhibition and it was marvellous. I came away with loads of ideas, two new balls of sock wool, a Decopatch kit (my friend says it's very easy) and a kit for a lap quilt that I really shouldn't have bought. I'll definiy put this in the diary for next year, I wouldn't have believed there were so many things you could do with fibres! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Webmuppet Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 The show was even better this year than last year.......I had a shopping list, considerably enhanced by LMWs shopping list .going on a weekday was much better than Saturday. We went on a coach trip run by a local coach company...stress free travel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Ooh, Mrs Webmuppet, did you see Attic24? She went on the 10th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Webmuppet Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 No but there were quite a few people there and I was having a bit of a nightmare trying to find some of the wool that LMW wanted - she wanted 100g balls of Aran in certain colours.
