The magic continues - after we left the pretty village of Tharwa we travelled via a roundabout r
oute to Cooma - our overnight destination. Little did my travelling companions suspect that I had a slight detour planned. The
Past Times Craft Centre had been highly reccomended to me by Sandra at
SSK. I knew there was a craft shop in the vicinity but what a shop, what a wealth of fibre goodness.
It was a feast to the eye and all the other senses and I had a lot of trouble deciding what to look at first, the beautiful Ashford
Tekapo Yarn, (gorgeous colourways) the Needle Felting, the Rainbow Slivers, the spinning wheels, rag looms, Knitters Looms, Wool Dyes, Vegemite Tea Cosies, cute postcards,
Buzzy Bee and on and on...
I wasn't the only one to be captivated by all this and when we finally left I was amazed that my shopping bag only contained 2 balls of Tekapo yarn, 3 Ashford patterns and 1 Buzzy Bee key ring. It was a lovely shop and the sales person was extremeley helpful. Her patience in explaining the Knitter's Loom to the young lad was commendable - I'm not sure if he is into the whole weaving thing but it kept him distracted long enough for me to scout around both floors of this lovely shop.
