Some of the kits Janice produces
I also chatted with Sue Hawkins her work is spectacular!
One of the exhibition pieces were these beautiful dresses.
My photographs do not do them justice!

Hmm--what a wonderful affair. Wish I could have joined you.
ReplyDeleteHa! I was just watching it and thought I recognised that little lot! Sounds like a fund day.
ReplyDeleteIt was really busy wasn't it? I went on Friday & spent about 4 hours teaching people how to knit.... I was really worn out! The dresses were beautiful.... but tiny! :) x

ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting day! Exhibition days are always a bit long and tiring but the exciting things you see and people you meet make up for it don't they? I loved seeing the Downton Abbey dresses, thank you for sharing the photos!
