No knitting today, too tired. I went into town this morning to the craft fair in the square... used to be, before the pandemic, we'd get upwards of 20 vendors. Today there were 4. I swear my local council isn't even bothering to try by advertising these events where craftspeople might see.


I had to do some shopping in town anyway, although I couldn't get everything I wanted, and I didn't get to all the charity shops. One I go to regularly closed for good yesterday, so that sucked. I did go to a new shop that sells pretty much everything and checked out their craft section. Lots pf expensive yarn, which I resolutely didn't buy. I did get a pack of pastel A4 card and two packs of plain white card blanks.


I hit the jackpot at one charity shop though, found a Crafter's Companion Ultimate Pro, only a couple of minor bits missing, one of the scoring tools, the clip that holds it closed, and one of the little pegs used in tying bows. The other two were there, and you only really need two anyway, so that's not a problem There were even some extra templates for scoring card in pretty patterns, so I got half a dozen of those as well. Now I should be able to easily make card blanks, envelopes, and boxes of various sizes and shapes! I just need to read the instruction book and watch some videos on youtube...
