Last week in the midst of getting ready for opening our yard we managed a squeeze in a couple of days out. One of which was to the Yorkshire Show.
It was an excellent day, I know this because by the end of the day I had very sore feet: a tell tale sign of much exploring.
In the Women's Institute crafts display area I came across these adorable little mice...
Alas they are knitted, but we can forgive that because they are soooooooooooooo sweet looking!
A little treat for myself, form a very talented jewellary maker Jeanette Sargent. Who took the trouble to oxide the jump-ring for me, so that is tones in with the gold chain Si brought me some years ago. Thank you Jeanette!
Look who else was at the show..!
Kirstie was filming an episode for her new craft series. Yippee! Kirstie has entered a competition run by Yorkshire Country Women's Association, which anyone could enter. I found this out after the dead-line for entries, otherwise I would have been there! That didn't stop me looking at what you had to do, to compete.
To enter you had to make either a cushion, wall hanging or a 3D object. You could make your entry using one or more of the following techniques: sewing, cross-stitch, embroidery (machine of hand), quilting, knitting, applique, patchwork or needle felt.
Can you see where I am going with this? No crochet! Why?
Now, I think Kirstie is great and I am sure that she didn't make the rules of this competition. But let's give crochet the opportunity to shine amongst it's counter-parts.
I feel a campaign (or a letter) coming on!
Here's to crochet and a happy hook!
