One of my main reasons for going this year, like last, was because the Knitting and Crochet Guild has a stand there but this time, I wasn't helping out.
The stand looked very good and the fact that it was so much bigger this year helped a good deal. Lots of people stopped by and I was told it had been quite hectic at times.
I sat for a while and had a chat and then set off to have a look around. I wasn't after any wool or fleece, or indeed, anything else but predictably, before I left, later on I did get my purse out.
There was lots of yarn for sale, buttons and haberdashery, jewellery and patchwork, together with some foods and some paper work.
In the end, I bought a very large Lucet and some yarn from New Forest Mohair. I bought some of their yarn last year and found it beautiful to knit with, although generally, I am not a great fan of this particular wool.
We bought a cake from the purveyors of such things and had a tea break, then returned to say goodbye to everyone and have a last look round. By that time, some stall holders were beginning to put their things away and outside, the rains had returned....
