Knots Conquered

This week I attended the Sydney Craft Show via a 10 hour bus trip for the day. It was an absolutely great day as I caught up with my daughters and our friends.The craft show itself was good but it was mainly a trade show. I went many years ago and it was full of makers of craft. Apart from a quilt show this year all the stalls were traders. This is a bit disappointing but I guess I’m a dinosaur from the past and have to get with it! Craft kits are on the rise and maybe I would have brought one if I found a weave one.

I didn’t realise that my knotty dilemma in my last post would attract so much empathy. Thank you. Knots are what we do sometimes and it does..hurt. I took a few photos as I wound and combed. Look at the end – almost neat and chopped off ready to go.

Knotty mess.

Looking better!
