A temple in the centre of knutsford?

I am a little delayed in posting this, my inner peace was actually restored on Saturday, but in this world nothing ever goes to plan!

Peace was found in a corner of Knutsford in a beautiful shop called Fibre and Clay. Saturday was my day to go and mix with people of my own kind. Hat knitters to be precise. Forgive me, but I was in such a zen-like state that I do not remember all my fellow devotee's names, but you know who you were.

We were all there to pay our homage to our spiritual leader Woolly Wormhead (complete with her new stunning purple worms!) on a hat design course.

Copious amounts of coffee was consumed by all, and in a meditative state we knitted as if our very souls depended on it. Peace was assured, and achieved I do believe, along with a beautiful Bacchus beret (to be paraded around Manchester soon!)

The surroundings were a riot of colour, like jewels in a golden crown. Riana (the shop owner) certainly knows her fibre, and I was exceptionally restrained in not giving her all my cash in exchange for some of her vibrant gems.

I think that I will return, to that sacred place, when I have some free time.

Perhaps enlightenment is achievable after all?
