And don't say I didn't warn you! - Ja minähän sitten varoitin!

Sorry it's taken a while to go through the exhibitors' list of the Knitting and Stitching show, but here comes (at least some of them). I tried to gather them in groups - and thank God not all of the exhibitors have web pages. Now, ladies, it's time to go and hide your credit cards - I cannot be held responsible for your actions if you throw caution to the wind.

Vihdoinkin sain listattua Lontoon Knitting ja Stitching show'n osanottajaluettelon - tai itse asiassa vain osan siitä. Yritin vähän ryhmitellä näitä aihealueittain, ja mukana on tosiaan vain osa näytteilleasettajista. Luojan kiitos kaikilla ei ollut nettisivuja joko lainkaan tai sitten ne oli niin väsähtäneen oloiset, etten viittiny listata niitä lainkaan. Muutenkin tässä tuntui jobia riittävän. Mutta nyt ladies, menkääpäs ensin piilottamaan luottokorttinne, ettei tule tehtyä harkitsemattomia ostoksia. Ja disclaimerina: minä en sitten ota vastuuta jos riehaannutte shoppailemaan.
