Super Christmas Market

I really wasn't very impressed with this event. I expected it to have a lot more products on offer and a lot more variety. There were a couple of items I liked, such as Tim Parsons half pint pint cups, but I've seen those many times before. A lot of the hand made jewellery looked like it should have been on a stall in a festival. Maybe my expectations were too high, but I had hoped to buy some presents here, but just came away feeling like I had just wasted my £2 entry fee.

Knitting

I have been learning to knit as part of my final major project.
I can already crochet, but have never taken the time to learn knitting, but have recently taken it up as part of my major project.
I'm finding that it seems to have become increasingly popular with lots more of my age group learning, so much so that there are social events for young people to attend and discuss knitting. Although I am still very much a beginner, I'm finding it quite enjoyable, and finding youtube very useful with understanding certain stitches.
