Prick your finger knitting shop, Bethnal green

Went to see a highly excellent exhibition by Vanessa Rolf in the highly excellent knitting shop/sewing shop Prick you finger in Bethnal green which happened to be just round the corner from the gig I was playing in st Margarets chapel gallery cafe.
a very great place to find UK sourced wool and excellent knitting/sewing books/tools
