June knitting and crochet retreat - the projects
There was a wide variety of knitting and crochet on the go, with some adopting Wendy's plan of three projects. Morning project - difficult, afternoon project - intermediate, evening project (after gin and wine) - dead simple.
Here are some of the results.
