More about the stash in a bit because it was Stitch and Bitch tonight and I had a great time! We had two new members Carmen and Martha. Carman is from Madrid in Spain and told me that they have some great yarn stores there! Andy went to Madrid earlier in the year for a friend’s stag night and is eager to return and show me the city, looks they’ll be some cool shops to check out too! Martha is from Norwich and was knitting a very interesting sock. She also has a friend who’s been known to make knitted human organs like livers! She’s going to come to our next meeting.
We’re next meeting up on Wednesday when Elizabeth from New Mexico will be visiting Cardiff.
As you know I met up with Mariko with San Francisco last week, but I failed to mention was that she gave me these lovely charms!
From right to left – a pair of scissors, my favourite – a muffin charm!, a thimble, tea cup, spoon and an alien, well it is Scifiville!
These are designed to go on a charm bracelet but the muffin will have a necklace all of its own!
Book stash tomorrow!
Hello,
I found your site while searching for yarn stores in Madrid. I will be visiting in mid-November, and would like to find some addresses (my husband doesn’t like aimless wandering looking for yarn). Is there any chance you could put me in touch with Carman?
best wishes,
Carolyn.
