Well, Bob will probably laugh when he sees this as he made these little tools for me years ago and it's only now I've started to experiment with them! I've made a start on an idea I've had for ages, which is to try and french knit with cotton. I'm not too sure what the end result will be yet but here's a sneak preview! Yesterday was independent record store day and whilst visiting Probe records at The Bluecoat Gallery in Liverpool I popped into purlesque, one of the small shops in The Bluecoats courtyard. I've wanted to mention a couple of things about this little shop for a while now. I went in months ago and noticed they sell the same fabric that you can get from the fabric town Nippori in Tokyo. I was very excited to spot this as the fabric I recognized was one that in Tokyo I kept picking up and putting down and in the end never bought. But now I can get it in Liverpool! The second thing which I spotted yesterday was that in the shop they have a similar tool to what Bob made for me but they have gone in the opposite direction and it's the size of a stool!! Shame I didn't take a photo for you too see but it made me laugh too which means smiles all round ey Bob?!
