There seemed to be more knitting & stitching stands at Shepton this year - certainly fewer papercraft stalls because of the clash with Ally Pally. I took a friend and my daughter and despite the 100 miloes each way we enjoyed the day (I mainly go to see my sister) and it gives us a chance to see some of the smaller traders who don't do the big shows. There were several special show offers and I linked up with an unknown lady so we could each buy two cheap sets of Nesties where the offer was 4 for £60.
