Ysolda at Purl City

The wonderful knitwear designer Ysolda Teague visited Purl City Yarns in Manchester recently, and Jen and I bobbed along to check it out. She was there to promote her latest collection - Little Red in the City, so I took along my copy which she kindly signed for me.

All her sweaters were there in the flesh so everyone could try them on, and we are now inspired to create our own for Autumn/Winter 2011.

I resisted the urge to add to my stash whilst at the store - it was quite hard. There are some lovely yarns. But I still have a skein of some gorgeous purple Scrumptious to ball up yet - think I will be calling in on Jen to make use of her swift and winder...see you soon Jen.
