Is this the thread for craft news?
I believe that is Minearverse. Crafts, soaps, and character deaths.
'Serenity'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

aha! a thread I don't usually read. Thanks!
Toddson - that is very interesting.
ETA: did you seem the nice looking stranded work in the new Vogue knitting?
How do I pronounce "Stuyvesant?"
Sty-vuh-sent.
Where would you go shopping right now in London?
Liberty of London.
Harvey Nichols
Fortnum and Masons.
Past Times.
All the museum gift shops.
Portobello Road (on Saturday)
Oh, and Lush of course. (They have different products than the US stores).
thanks!
sumi, I don't knit - I only know about Alice Starmore from a book I read by a knitter who was DETERMINED to produce a sweater from one of her designs.
Is she booky, Hec? Primrose Hill Books and Propero's Books are lovely; if I'd had money when I was in London, I would have gone crazy in there.
She should hit a Boots for cheap and wonderful makeup.
And I totally second Portobello Road, if she'll be there on Saturday!
The botanical gardens are out by Wimbeldon, but SO worth the trip, if she's at all interested in gardens. And some of the Haunted London walking tours are wonderfully done, and so interesting.
Toddson - I read that book too.
It's kind of nutty. And all those "classic" fair isle designs are kind of boxy and unflattering on most people.
