Knitting Old England

or, Postcards from London


by the Wood

I left this river

by the Thames

for this river. Although January, it seemed like early spring.

Camellias bloomed in someone's garden.

I hit the yarn emporia, and was largely surprised.

All the Fun of the Fair, in Kingly Court

Shilisdair cochineal-dyed merino-angora-cashmere DK from Loop. A lovely souvenir.


It was a short but excellent trip.  Non-knitted highlights included Royal Shakespeare, the Old Vic, The Tate Gallery, The Tate Modern, and the British Museum. And excellent Indian food, particularly at Palms of Goa on Charlotte Street.
