Lesley gave a lovely ‘Dartmoor Dye Day’ workshop at our February meeting.  She stepped in when Janine couldn’t make the ‘Art wool’ workshop.

A quick simple way to dye wool and some amazing results.  Well done.

 Lace Knittting - Talk and Workshop Talk 11:00


Shetland Lace Workshop with Elizabeth Williamson (https://www.elizabethwilliamsonknitting.co.uk)  The workshop is limited to 10 experienced knitters (i.e. confident in knitting, purling and reading a pattern) and will run for two hours in the afternoon.  In the morning, prior to the workshop, Elizabeth will give a  talk on Shetland Lace Knitting.    Elizabeth is a Shetlander who now lives in Suffolk and she is a great tutor with lots of tips on knitting in general as well as lace.  She is keen to show that lace needn’t be restricted to super fine yarns although for the workshop she would like participants to bring 4mm needles and some lace weight yarn (preferably in a light colour) or otherwise some 4 ply yarn. Workshop 13:30
