::then there was this smooshy Malabrigo worsted for the Jared Flood hat Quincy::
::and some very interesting 2 ply hemp from The House of Hemp for Thursday which is by Assemblage and is a sculptural handknitted layering garment::
::then some Louisa Harding Willow Tweed for Pikenaze a scarf from her new book 'Little Cake'::
::I wasn't going to leave without purchasing the Naked Knitting 2010 calendar from the Knitting Noras whose 'extreme' knitting has led them to making this artily shot work in aid of cancer treatment and research at 'The Christie' hospital in north west Britain::
