My husband and I were at beautiful knitters on the 31st of august on our adventure to London and Paris, what a fabulous shop and we purchased our yarn that was made within 50 kilometers of London 🥰 since it was my husbands birthday, they gifted him one of their project bags. They were so kind and very very helpful 👍👍👍

Hi Mark and Ned! Thank you so much for bringing us along on your trip. I love what you have been doing with your vlog: to be truthful, I’ve gotten so tired of the usual “ here’s my CO, here’s my WIP’s and here is my CO..oh, and so and so gifted me with Yada Yada Yada” . You’ve hit the nail on the head as far as content!

Yes! I used to ALWAYS buy something at every yarn shop I visited. And eventually I had accumulated so many random items that I didn't use or have plans for. Now that I feel more comfortable window shopping, it helps me know exactly what I want to use when patterns and project ideas come my way.

John Lewis on Oxford street used to have an excellent craft department with an on hand Rowan consultant, these days no consultant and department that is mediocre. My local trusty yarn store is Buttonknit in St Neots- about an hour on the train north of London. Has everything that you need, and some to desire!

I've just found your channel and am really enjoying all your vlogs, particularly of your travels in the and around the UK. The only thing is that you have so many adverts that come in at random moments it spoils the flow (and are a bit annoying). I know that there is some income derived from the ads, but is it possible for you just to limit them a little. There are a lot. But otherwise these are very interesting videos so thank you for posting your travels. Playing the piano was a great watch! I want to hear the singing, hopefully coming soon!
