UPDATE: Harrogate Show

This show saw an outing of Mr Shaun the Sheep and his minder Janet. Janet is also the lady who made him and she made a special trip up along with Mavis (her sister) for the show. The show in itself was quiet on the teaching side of things but we did do lots for Shaun the Ship and the Wallace & Gromit Children's Foundation due to his Sheepiness' presence on the stand.



Here is a picture of Mavis doing some teaching.



Here is John taking advantage of a quiet moment to work on his scarf that he started to make. If memory serves right he made it using two balls of Sirdar Medici:
Here we see Neal of NKM wools with a certain sheep hiding amongst the packs of yarn. Neal was the gentleman who very kindly donated the yarn for the full size Shaun way back in March.
My only purchases for the show were modest ones as I'm saving my spending splurge for Ally Pally:


Tea Cozies and Toilet Roll Covers both by Pat Ashforth and Steve Plummer of Wooly Thoughts. It was only pointed out to me on our stand that part of Tea Cozies has been inserted upside down. By the time I was able to point this out to the stand I bought it from they had sold the other copies and apparently had only had it in a day or two before they'd left for the show so it was hot off the presses.


These I bought from Meiflower and as always will play with them eventually. At the bottom of the screen are some baby dummies that they had in two sizes and both blue and pink An idea is forming for what I'll be using them for as well. Now the countdown for Ally Pally begins...
