Woolfest 2011

Posted by knit-happens on July 4, 2011 at 4:12 PM

As I haven't posted for absolutely yonks and we have recently had the highlight of the knitting year I did think it about time to do so.

Here's Maggie having fun on the Ingrid Wagner Stall where ther are giant balls of yarn available made from strips of woolen fabric. It is possible to knit a rug in a few hours.

Another interesting stall was that of designer Suzie Johnson. Her knitting kits were selling like hot cakes which was evident when back at Bobby Davisons woolshop in Hartlepool. Quite a few people had invested in kits or patterns.

The centre was full of deliciously dyed wool in all its forms and also undyed natural shades are plentiful.There's definately some decisions being made in the above picture! Quick before its over!

And finally two of our Woolfest virgin's went this year, Leonie and Jill. It sounds like they had a thoroughly fab day out.
