A great way to spend a couple of hours.....

Following a wretched week - website still down, (don't talk to me about techies!), a bit of a health scare (however, the NHS are wonderful in a crisis) and grotty weather (the dog needs more walks and the grass needs more cutting) - I pulled myself together and joined the Ladies (and one Gent) of the Guild for a basic workshop on fleece choosing and preparation.

To be honest, I'm nowhere near confident enough to tackle a whole fleece, but just to sit for a couple of hours joining people, card, spin, knit and weave is a very therapeutic experience - thanks be for the Guild of Mid-Essex Spinners Weavers and Dyers!

Sorry to hear about the health scare - hope all is well now. Your couple of hours sounds wonderful - did you do any knitting whilst you were there?
ps. I have started a new knitting only blog as I was afraid of non-knitters complaining about the amount of knitting content! ;-)Teresa
