Weekend events.............

I went to Dublin for the weekend and attended a beginners crochet class on Saturday morning at This is Knit in Blackrock. Ann and Lisa took the class and I learnt how to make a basic chain and do doubles etc. I can now finish my Debbie Bliss Tie fronted Cardigan.



Of course how could I pass up a real live yarn shop and not buy anything? So what did I get? 12 balls of DB Cashmerino for this and a few odd balls of Cashsilk and Puresilk for smaller items. :)

I had a ball and would have loved to have got on the DART and gone into Stephen's Green for the World Knit in Public event, but I had imposed on my aunt's goodness and her babysitting service long enough. :)

I am not buying yarn for a while now and going to finish up some of the many WiPs now on my list. :)

Very pretty. And of course you had to buy yarn! So you didn't have to pay those outrageous shipping fees!

I took a crochet class last week too, and now feel empowered! Yay for yarn!

I am still hopeless at crochet! Will have to learn sometime.

The cardi looks lovely. Glad you can now finish it with the crochet edging. Sounds a great day out with yarn buying and all!
