Just what the Dr ordered - a civilized weekend in Mid- Wales!
We drove through miles of beautiful countryside, and whilst I spent 2 days at the show Matt got to visit family and spend an afternoon at the Red Kite feeding centre. He has some fantastic photos
I got to meet friends from all over the UK, Europe and Australia; learnt to use my drop spindle and how to ply the yarn I produced; found some new food sources; worked on the crochet reef; and I have some great souvenirs!
I'll just whisper a few of my purchases...
baby camel/silk
cashmere/ silk
wensleydale
baby alpaca
ebony circulars
a drop spindle
merino/tencel tops
mohair tops
and here is one of my favourite show characters
wow, baby camel/silk!!! That must be gorgeous feeling.
