The Craft Group

A meeting was held in May 2011 to discuss the possibility of starting a craft group. The seven members present considered what crafts would be of interest; quite a list was put forward – Pillow Lace, Crochet, Acrylic flowers, Painting, Knitting, Embroidery, Peg Dolls, Cross Stitch and Grafting (knitting not plants!).

After an enjoyable experience making acrylic flowers we have moved on to knitting a farmyard! Having commenced the farmyard - the size has amazed us - we now have to ask if you have any spare wool 3 or 4 ply or double knit in green, beige or brown to help us create this ‘work of art’ to be completed and given to a selected Charity? The farm complete with stock is beginning to take shape and we find it an active social activity for all.

The May meeting will be on Fiday May 25th at 2pm at Helen’s home when we will be ‘Napkin Folding’ For more details contact Helen. If you are interested in joining it is now necessary to phone Helen 01335 343113.
