A Day Out

Earlier in the week a group of friends and myself headed up to spend the day in Napier. We had organised a tour of a local knitting wool factory, Skeinz,  for our first stop.  What an interesting tour this was and of course, we had to pay a visit to the shop - if you are ever in Napier, this is definately worth checking out. There's some great wool to choose from, and at very good prices.  I came out there with this selection, which I'm planning to use for a crochet blanket for Hannah.

After lunch it was time to stop by one of my most favourite stitching shops, Heirlooms, which is owned by the lovely Sherelyn Whiteman.  I had some discount vouchers to spend and had no trouble picking out a few goodies. Sherelyn showed us how she is storing her stitching in these lovely "books" so I couldn't resist purchasing one either :)

The latest JBW Designs had only just arrived in Sherelyn's mail box earlier on in the day so I picked out a selection of these, and a few other Christmas ones.





So a good day all round I think - time catching up with friends, and some new stash!
