Show and Tell to start the year

 Here are some pics of what people have been working on over the holidays.

Two scarves from Rose who was on a "use up the oddments" mission. Amazing things can happen when you use seriously mis-matched yarns


Anne's Honeycomb placemats turned out exceptionally well. The hemstitching adds a beautiful finishing touch
Jan's fabulous fish tapestry. Each fish is a sample of a technique learned at the Maximo Laura workshop she attended

Wendy is launching out into floor rugs with considerable success in both weaving and design.
Just enough red to make it zing!

Chris had numerous scarves on display. She will be ready for the next scarf expo. Her current work, and Joan's is under wraps for now. You may see it at Festival.

In the "other techniques" department we had some expert knitting. This "Willow Cowl" was a gift to Rose. It was even knitted for her otherwise it would never have got finished.

And our own expert Knitter Nancy was working on the pattern you see in the lower left of the photo. She was combining two slightly different reds to give it a lively appearance.
A length of multicoloured bobbin lace was Rose's craft of choice over the holidays. Just as well she didn't have Wendy's "I am Dandy" book or it would have been a reading fest instead. It is sub-titled "The Return of the Elegant Gentleman"

Still more pics to come in a little while.
