The visit to Liverpool: 1.5 out of 4 days of sunshine, not bad considering of the floods in the south of England.Local yarn shop: 1
Other store to buy yarn: 1
SnB: 3
People knitting in public: 1 (that is me, myself & I)
Finding the local yarn shop was the knitting highlight of my trip. I found Knitwise
. The shop is located approximately 10 minutes (by bus) outside the Centre City. I found the atmosphere quite cozy and warm. 
I met the shop’s proprietor, Angie, who is very friendly and welcoming. Her handknitted and felted creations are proudly displayed throughout the shop. 
I was quite intrigued by a scarf and found out she is the designer of Twister featured in the March 2006 issue of Magknits. I am always in awe of the enthusiasm and commitment of the knitter who venture outside of the knitting box who contribute to the knitting economy.
While shopping in the City Centre, I made my way to the Haberdashery Department of John Lewis in the City Centre. Where I came across this…
and 
a wall full of Rowan.

OOh, look at all that lovely yarn!! Exciting trying out a new yarn shop. Hope you spent a few english pounds....
I was in Liverpool about 10 yrs ago. I thought it was a great city - I had a blast! (Did you get tired of hearing about the Beatles?)
And Wow - I've never seen that much Rowan in the same place at the same time. Drool worthy!
A wall full of Rowan!?!? That's awesome.
