Our trip to England this year wasn't as eventful as last year. We spent more time with Daren's family then traveling. I did see more of London this time since we spent 3 nights there. The first night in London we went to see Daren's soccer team Fulham play. It was fun, but he said I couldn't bring my knitting because of security and I think he was right. I have never seen so much security at a sporting event. I only took a couple of pictures, because they will kick you out for taking pictures. We didn't take many pictures. I check out the few pictures I have on Flickr.
I did make an amazing yarn related discovery while in England. There is a department store called John Lewis, that has a large selection of yarn. It's like going to Macy's and finding a yarn store inside. They carry nice yarn as well, Rowan and Sublime. The british based companies were about 20-25% cheaper then in the US. Noro and Mirasol were double the price. I ended up buying a Rowan pattern book that I couldn't find around here and some Organic Merino from Sublime. I may get my mother-in-law to bring me more Sublime when she visits in December.
