This afternoon we worked with peg looms, to create sample rag rugs. Really quick, easy and effective way to do produce pretty rugs with the added advantage of recycling old clothes, curtains, bed linen and any other scraps of materials in your stash!

Great fun today with two lovely ladies, who thought they were coming for a therapeutic, social, craft day, and both learned to spin. And we developed knitting skills in the afternoon, mastering plain, purl and rib.

Soda Bread at Cockle Row Cottages
This was a visit to Cockle Row Cottages this afternoon for another soda bread making demo.
I shared the cottage with Santa and one of his elves. There were also two visiting alpacas and a lovely group of flautists playing Christmas songs.
The soda bread was very popular with visitors and I hope to be back again very soon.
Merry Christmas to all at Cockle Row Cottages!

We had a lovely, creative evening at the craft club today.
Karen furthered her spinning skills and learned to ply wool.
Margaret and Miriam brought their knitting – both producing small items for charity sales.
Jill brought crochet hooks and started on Granny squares.
I had some Valois black nose fleece that I had washed and dyed, ready to be carded and spun for a client. I was able to finish carding, and spun most of it. I will finish spinning it tomorrow.
