Do you remember that strange decorated sheep in in the last blog post? Well, she appeared in her full glory at the national Creative Fibre festival.
She was promoting our Guild’s Squares Challenge, for an item made in some way out of a square or squares. There was quite a display – this is just some of it.
Here is the winner by popular vote, the gorgeous bag by Bronya McInally (photo from the Creative Fibre website).
Hard on the heels of that event, our Guild’s annual pop-up shop opened at 100 Queen Street, Masterton.
It will be open till Saturday 17 June, so do drop in if you’re in the area! There are all sorts of winter woollies –
– socks and sweaters have been selling particularly well, which in the recent chilly weather isn’t surprising.
Hats are popular too.
There are some lovely wraps, and lots of cosy sweaters for little children
and bigger children.
There’s no shortage of of choice –
– including some adorable toys!
