This Saturday, 23rd November, my youngest sister and I did something that I’ve wanted to do for many years. No, we didn’t go desert trekking, kayaking or any of those other things that are supposed to be on every 20-something’s bucket list. No, in our family we like to a live a little more on the edge, and so bright and early on Saturday morning we set off down the road to the Twisted Thread Knitting and Stitching Show at the International Centre in Harrogate!
We spent a good few hours browsing all the lovely stalls, filled to the brim with the sort of bits and pieces that make you go ‘ooh’ and ‘ahh’. I believe that they’re the same bits and pieces that make you want to touch everything just to see what it feels like (I refer specifically to the alpaca-fur teddy bears!). But words don’t really do the show justice – so instead here are a few photos of my very favourite things from the Knitting and Stitching Show 2013!

And the best part of the entire day? Seeing the touring Knitivity, of course! My mum has had one of these on her windowsill every Christmas ever since I can remember. However her knitivity is only 5 inches high…
Did you get to the Knitting and Stitching Show this year? The dates for the Knitting and Stitching Show 2014 have just gone live today so if you missed it this time around, never fear!
