Spins and Needles, Lincoln

I love shows for all of the lovely people that I get to meet; you never know who might come and see you. On Saturday morning at Knit Nation, Woolly Wormhead and I were standing actually probably slouching, feeling a bit sorry for ourselves after a late night; of course it had nothing to do with drink and everything to do with the not-sleeping habits of one of our room-mates.

A lady came up to our stand and started talking to Woolly; she was in the process of taking over a yarn shop and wanted to stock her books, all good, then she said that her yarn shop was in Lincoln; 40mins away from me. I admit, I was very excited and was maybe a little rude in butting into the conversation to ask what was going to be stocked, when it would be open, how excited I was that the shop would be stocked with funky things.

Somehow I didn't scare the lady off and after she had finished talking to Woolly, she came over to talk to me about stocking my bags and needle rolls.

On Sunday I went to Lincoln to drop some of my needle rolls and bags off with Sarah and to have a sneaky peak at the new shop and some of the lovely stock she had in.

Tomorrow Spins and Needles, in Clasket Gate will open with a stash swap in aid of Macmillian Cancer Support. If you've read my last post, you will see that I am a little busy tomorrow but I hope Sarah has a great first day tomorrow and loads of people coming into the shop.

How exciting! Don't know when I'll next be visiting Lincoln but it sounds fab.

Went today. What a lovely lady, and how much yarn. Lots of british wool and milliamia. Definitely worth a visit. And nice to see someone interested in getting different yarns.
