A great wee find

I have more knitting and crochet books than I know what to do with, but that is no deterrent to acquiring more.  The mill was closed today so I decided on a jaunt to Newcastle, County Down and set off early to beat the Bank Holiday hordes.  I took my crochet hook and wool with me, and since it was wet and windy I parked up and did a bit of crochet (as you do) before I set off for a dander up the town.  I was delighted to find a really old knitting book dated 1923 in my friend Alicia’s shop – Sew What Interiors – so I practically skipped back to the car with joy (well, in my head I did).  Then I got out my crochet to do a bit before setting off to my next destination.  Newcastle was getting hectic by this time and a woman came over and asked was I leaving so she could have my space.  No, says me, I’m not leaving.  She gave me and my crocheting a bemused smirk and turned to walk away.  No prizes for guessing what I said to her retreating back under my breath.

  1. There’s nothing quite like the feeling of buying a new (or old) knitting or crochet book! A perfect day Rosie x
