Team Toft at large in Manchester

Thursday at Stitch & Craft Manchester was a good, if a tiny bit quiet towards the end kinda day. The knitting workshops were popular & afterwards the space doubled up as a place to leave the hubby to snooze whilst you tried on a multitude of Toft hats & scarves.

We had some very trendy visitors to stand B6 & Carrie took the opportunity to snap this unusual wooden brooch.

So after a good day's work we went back to the hotel dodging the rain & marvelled again at the crazily long chandelier chain in the foyer. Supper was delicious, the service & location at The Restaurant on John Dalton St was so good! We finished off the night in the trendy Panacea with a glass of fizz & a taxi back, lovely!

Since we arrived last night we've been literally falling over A-listers! Okay so Johnny Vegas & Simon from the Gadget Show aren't quite A-listers but still, it's left us wondering who's next! I managed a photo of the back of his head.

The stand looks great even if we do say ourselves & people are already booked onto our workshops- can't wait!

Supper was scrummy by the way & we inadvertently celebrated Chinese Luna New Year in China Town, Happy New Year!
