The sun was definately shining on Frating this weekend and we had a fantastic day again. It was a great turnout (over 30 people!) and quite a few new faces which is always good to see. Our flyers are obviously working! The weekend meet is always a lovely day as we catch up with people that can't always make it to the regular knitting group meetings and it gives a chance to meet people from groups that are a little further afield too. This time I think we had people from Ipswich, Harwich, Mersea, Clacton not to mention all the Colchester based groups.
There were lots of lovely cakes again, the trade table as always was a roaring success and yarn sales from The Bear Necessities and The Yarnsmith and beads from Sue. Sara was official photographer for the day and will be along with snaps to embarrass us all!
The workshops were much smaller this time, mind you having had 25 people all want to learn to crochet from scratch last time around was a bit of an eye opener! This time around, we made a couple more crochet converts who went away with their first ever granny squares. All in all, another success and we hope to add a different workshop to the next meeting. Watch this space or the ravelry group for more information and remember, if there's a technique you'd like to try or you have a suggestion for an alternative workshop, just let us know and we'll see what we can arrange.
Anyway, here's to another great day and to the next one too which will be:
Saturday 26th June
We'll be back with more yarn, knitting and cake for a Marie Curie Blooming Great Tea Party.
