Guild Day Show and Tell

We got to have a good look Chris's lovely large soft blanket which incorporates her handspun yarn which has been maturing for some time.

Also from Chris - can't you tell from the colours and the block design. This scarf is a "repeat order" from someone who bought one over a decade ago and liked it enough to order a replacement when it started to get tired.

Felters have been having fun making "neckies". Small but perfectly formed (or ruched, gathered pleated or whatever) they are a quick way to make a fashion statement.

Nancy chose a wider fabric border on her neckie.

Pam demonstrated that there are multiple ways of draping this knitted model.

Betty's scarf came in for a lot of admiration.

These creatures are the product of Pam H attending a class at Festival. They are meant to be monsters but they are far too cute.

Just had to include a pic of this tiny ceramic treasure brought along by Dawn. 

There was much more to see and feel - knitting of all shapes and sizes, lovely bulky hats and tiny baby singlets - what a diverse collection of indeed creative fibre.

August Guild Day

A wet and gloomy day outside but a cheerful and chatty gathering at Bobbin Cottage. Looking around you might think that wearing a hand made scarf was a condition of entry - but no, it wasn't compulsory, just very colourful and sensible. This post shows the variety with knitting, felting and weaving all represented.

 Apologies for the quality of the photos which were sneakily taken during the meeting. Show and Tell pics will be posted in a few days.
