I knew I should have taken a close up! Actually - I was so busy talking I didn't even remember to take any photos - I had to ask Sheila's husband to do it for me!
Sheila has lent me a copy of "Wild Knitting" to play with as there's some good ideas in there for the knitted garden. There's some other crazy patterns that I might just have to play around with as well.
We are both members of the KCG and spent some time talking about how we need to preserve the best of the old and incorporate it into the new. I loved a vintage cloth that Sheila had and think the design would translate well into a semi-circular shawl.
I spent the rest of Saturday looking through my vintage bed jacket patterns for inspiration and think I've found one which will make a good shrug for my youngest sister (though probably not in time for this Christmas!)
