Time to show you some of the goodies I brought home with me from the fabulous London! First up is this gorgeous Twin Peaks themed brooch from Kate Rowland, who also was a Mollie Makes Handmade Awards finalist. I love everything remotely connected to Twin Peaks, so I was delighted to meet Kate and see her products! She also makes brooches with Breaking Bad and Parks And Recreation themes, so be sure to check out her Etsy store!
At moments like this I wish I would like coffee too! But for now I’ll stick to tea 😉
I already showed you some pics of Kim‘s yarn last wednesday, but it’s so pretty I wanted to show you again!
Err.. what’s this? A yarn cutter, ladies and gentlemen! I don’t know if it’s more known abroad, but I have never seen one in Dutch yarnshops. This handy little thing literally cuts your yarn, and although for some cases you still want actual scissors, these things are pretty neat! No more holes in your bag because of scissors poking out of their cases, and it is accepted on planes, woohoo! You can imagine my excitement when I finally spotted one in a yarn shop in London.
A souvenir from Loop, yay! I am in love with this yarn shop, they have such a big range of yarns and they’re all equally gorgeous! The staff is really friendly and helpful as well, I hope to be going back someday! (with a slightly more forgiving wallet I hope, haha)
Dit waren mijn goodies uit Londen! Zit er iets bij wat jullie zelf ook niet hadden kunnen laten liggen?
I chose these two lovely skeins, they are so soft! My first baby alpaca.. Or even my first alpaca yarns I think! I’m thinking of making a striped shawl with these, but I haven’t decided on a pattern yet. Do you have any suggestions? I’ve got about 400 meters, and it’s suitable for about 4,5mm needles. Ooh, and did you see the fabric shopper bag I got? I just couldn’t leave it there!
These were my goodies from London! What would be on your wish list for shopping in London? Let me know!
