There was this
One of the cleverest bit of felting I've ever seen was on this stand run by Jennymade
Aren't they cute?
We watched a demonstration by Ruth Packham, who made this little owl,
I'm definitely going to have a go myself(when I've moved!)
There really was a wealth of talent, the owner of these
-Eta Ingham-Lawrie won a knitted cup for the best stand, her work is amazing.
I also had a reminder of something I(and I suspect many others) used to make when I was little!
May have to make some of these with my grandchildren!
I also saw these
in an auction ring - two of my granchildren made their own versions of these on a wet day at the Rhegged Centre at Easter(they kept theirs) They have been part of a project involving schoolchildren all over Cumbria.
Both Sarahs enjoyed themselves, we all spent far too much money, but of course only on really useful things!!
Finally just to show how much rain there was.......
This is a view of the farmers field that usually has cows or sheep roaming!!
Time to go and do some more packing, thanks for looking, Chris
That looked amazing and I've sent the link to your post to my lovely Paula. But is woolfest something that is there all the time or was it just a weekend fair??

Wow, all that felty magic and talent. You will undoubtedly have fun when you start your felting forays after the move.
ReplyDeleteI am just boiling beetroot and after looking at this posting I know what I am going to do with the juice:)
