    I went to see the knitting exhibition. It was a beautiful arrangement and no crowds , I had the rooms to myself ! The main gallery is amazing. I had so many questions for the weavers ! I don't think asking them over the balcony would be welcomed though ! I now want to be a Weaver and not a flamenco dancer.
