Washed (wooled) Out

Actually the weekend was far from a washout as far as our little group of nine fibre enthusiasts were concerned but I have to say the drive back on the M6 yesterday was terrible due to the heavy rain!

The weekend consisted of lots: eating :: drinking :: eating again :: wool/fibre shopping :: eating :: more wool/fibre shopping :: eating :: drinking :: spinning :: crochet :: knitting :: eating yet again :: more tearooms :: shopping :: finally a tearoom with "live" cow milking here (the cakes here are highly recommended) - what more does a girl need for a wonderful weekend with friends old and new.

As for photographs - I'm afraid the quality isn't great as I took them on my phone but you get the picture (pun intended!):

Lovely handwoven jacket on the House of Hemp stand.

Giant knitting!

Cosy sofa for tired shoppers?

Lots of lovely yarn (I like the sign suggesting that those who are of a persuasive nature leave their heavy purchases for collection later!).

Deep into a crochet lessons at the B&B (left to right - Lynne, Kay and Averil)

New drop spindles (left to right - Beryl aka Fifi and Annie)

Ali and Janet knitting and finally me trying to spin on my new spindle which seems a lot harder than a wheel?

Thanks to everyone who came along for a lovely weekend, and what did I buy.........more on that  tomorrow.

Oh wow, it looks like you had a fab time! (although I sympathise about the M6, I avoid it like the plague!!)

That does sound like a lovely weekend!
