Liberty

The Most Beautiful Store in the World

On Monday I took a trip to Liberty of London, truly the most beautiful store in the world, with a friend who is a sometime knitter/crocheter. We were fairly restrained in the yarn sale, but below is a picture of my spoils - 6 skeins of Little Big Wool in Amethyst, and Rowan Studio 13 to knit something with it, and 3 balls of navy Regia Softy for socks. My friend went mad with the Regia Softy, and also bought some Little Big Wool
After lunch in the cafe, we spent hours touching all the beautiful clothes, lingerie, linen etc etc, dreaming of a life where we would only shop at this store...

Spoils!

Update

I have been very remiss and really need to provide an update on WIPs (there are way, way too many!)
Currently OTK:
- Bridie (only a bit of the left front and one sleeve to do!)
- 1940s vest (nearly one side complete)
- Footlights cardigan, from the wonderful Popknits
- Socks in Regia "Hundertwasser" self patterning yarn, from the Vogue Basic Sock Pattern (but have left this pattern at work, so they won't be progressing until January 5th!)

Currently waiting to be sewn up (might happen today):
- Quick Knit Jacket from Jo Sharp Issue 3

Recently finished:
- Vintage bedjacket in DB silk
- Lace scarf from Simply Knitting November (xmas/birthday present)
- The Yarn Harlot's One Row Handspun scarf in some sparkly handspun from Australia
- Men's Rustic Scarf from Last Minute Knitted Gifts (xmas present)
- Kaffe Fasset yarn Ribbed Handwarmers (my own pattern)
- Jo Sharp Beret in Rowan Scottish Tweed Aran, slightly felted to improve the fit

Thinking about casting on:
- Anise from Rowan Newshapes
- Cropped waistcoat from Rowan Studio 13

Lots of casting on means lots of FOs - at some point! Stay tuned for photos of all the above.
