More people than we expected turned out for our World Knitting in Public event at Alford Corn Exchange on June 9th. It was a great morning, attended by people of all ages, including a Grandad who brought his grandchildren along to learn how to crochet. Some brought their own work along to get a bit more done in convivial company, some to add some inches to the scarves we had started, and some who had never learnt how to knit and were promptly shown. It was a very jolly morning and lots of tea and cake was consumed, and a raffle with some super donated prizes was held . The money raised will be going to the Alford Dementia Support Group. When asked by BBC Radio Lincolnshire who rang us to see how we had been getting on whether we would be doing it again next year we gave a resounding yes! We'd like to thank our tutors, Margaret Taylor and Pam Barnell, our knitting and crochet tutors, for setting it all up and supervising the event.
We had a great time at our Spring Bank Holiday Working Crafts Weekend - here are some pictures of what went on. Lots of quality craft stalls, workshops in felting, rag rug making, landscape painting, pottery sculpture, china painting, weaving and spinning plus raku demonstrations each afternoon.
