Next stop on our journey was All the Fun of the Fair which was filled with lots of knitted treasures

It was a hot and exhausting day but was well worth the treats I came home with, would you like to see what I brought?

Pin cushions from Cath Kidston and a cute apple needle holder

A knitted pumpkin and appropriate mug for the moment

And some pretty pins and charms which will hopefully adorn my knitted projects very soon!

  6. It sounds like you had a really fun day and I love all your treasures. I think I am fondest of that knitted pumpkin. You bought that? How cool. I am knitting a big lace shawl (never really gets cold enough here in So Ca to use much, but I will be stylish when it does) ... I may need to lay that aside for a while and try my hand at knitting a pumpkin!
