Last week I was on the sunny south coast recharging my batteries. The girls of knit & natter were not idle though. Oh no, far from it, they were exhibiting their finest selection of craftsmanship at the Chagford show. It was a clean sweep for the girls in the 'any other soft craft section', which allowed the hookers to show off their hooky talents to an appreciative judge. They also took various other prizes across the knitting and hard craft section, exhibiting work done at knit & natter and our various workshops. Well done girls.
There's Emily's Sea anemone blanket (my name for it because it's like looking into a rock pool with its beautiful colours and wavy edges!) on the left taking 2nd,
Chrissie's Mexican wave blanket, in all its rich jewelled tones, in the middle with 1st prize,
Sue R's beautiful felted bag at the back with Highly commended and Sue T's very pretty hexagon blanket on the right which took 3rd prize. Marvellous.
Also, just before I was away, one of our members, the gorgeous Beverley had a serious operation and over the past couple of weeks many of us have been making squares for her recovery blanket. I'm delighted to report she is home now and doing splendidly getting around on her very jazzy purple crutches. So, early on Wednesday morning a bunch of us crawled bleary eyed into the shop and sewed all the squares together so that we could deliver the blanket to her yesterday.
We all hope that snuggling down underneath its soft cotton loveliness will speed up her recovery.
