Local Exhibition

The local museum has a craft exhibition every other year (it's Art in between). I went along with a pile of goodies and also demonstrated on the sock machine over two weekends. Sold one pair of gloves, profit over exhibition fee and sales deduction £3.50 which was a lot better than some other people did!

From the left - basket of spun and dyed Wensleydale and some spinning tools, Sockrates and Heelitrope enjoying the outing, basket of gloves, socks and hats. In front of spinning basket is my scarf of 29 natural dyes, a bag made from Wilko's lustre yarn. I also put the three-and-a-half seasons shawls on display.

The Big Sweat finished


At last, the Big Sweat for little K. is finished, sewn up and posted off. Designing at 140 miles distance drove me to doing a sleeve shaping which is narrow in the forearm part, with internal tabs and external buttons so the sleeves can be shortened by rolling up. Piccy shows short left sleeve, full length right one.

Ican now get on with mini-skoleppar for Christmas!
