Great weekend of out and about...a little bit of Christmas after a craft crawl with my friend, Hayley.

Saturday 7:15 am the car was loaded with Geocachers, Paul & Kirsten and crafters, Hayley and me.  We set out for Chester and the surrounding area.

Well after dropping our adventurous geocachers, off to McDonalds for a top up on breakfast and a coffee then we were off to our first stop HobbyCraft. You want to ask why HobbyCraft?  It has been over 6 months since I have stepped into one as there isn't  one any closer to Southport, insert sad face here. Oh well, it was so much fun as this shop had a great fabric section as well all the knitting, papercrafts, painting, etc.  There were so many wonderful ideas for Christmas too!  I was truly in my element!

But we hadn't made it to the main event...The Stash!  A great knitters haven and boy did we have fun.  Located in an industrial estate and in a warehouse.  I was beginning to think I had the wrong address in the SatNav.  Opened the door and found a knitter's paradise...

Shelves and shelves of lovely fibres.  Then the samples all about, yes that is a knitted umbrella and of course with the matching wellie socks for your outing.  We all need a place like this not to just shop in as we were invited to sit and have a cuppa.  Hayley and I brought our knitting so we settled in for a good natter.  

While in Chester, don't miss out on a visit to The Stash and in the meantime, check out their website for some delicious fibres you just can't live without.

Tomorrow, a little bit of a Dickens Christmas...be merry!
