craft, hobby + stitch markers!

I've just realised that the Craft Hobby+Stitch trade show at the NEC in Birmingham is during half term, which means I'm not in school so might be able to go!! I'll see if I can talk OH into coming along; maybe by finding a sport event in Birmingham that weekend ;)
On the shop front I'm impatiently awaiting an order of Malabrigo sock yarn (I really want to cast on a pair of fingerless mitts) and have some very pretty stitch markers being made as we virtually speak...
