Heres my visit to the Wool Boat today at Baileys Trading Post on the Macclesfield Canal to meet Colin and Carol for the first time although we've e-mailed for some time now it was really nice to meet like-minded people.Loved the boat I want one! Thats me in the left hand bottom corner

Heres Tom our elderly moggie with a knack for finding a comfy spot! I've just received these beautiful peg loom rugs from Lana Norman produced from last year's Whitefaced Woodland fleeces from Arnside and the Black Welsh and Herdwick from Silverdale.I spread one out  under my rigid heddle loom to admire it,turned my back and found a cat had claimed it! So thats one rug that won't be sold (I wanted to keep one anyway!)

Nice cabled sweater

This design works well in cream or grey wool and also in unbleached cotton for less chilly weather

shawls

These shawls have been knitted and crochet in handspun wool from conservation grazer sheep in Arnside/Silverdale AONB

Wildlife around Morecambe Bay

Here's 2 pictures of birds for no reason other than that I like them.The tiny specks are geese over wintering and I was quite pleased that this seagull posed so well for me!

Tweedy knit jacket and shoulder wrap

The jacket has a funky acorn and kilt pin fastening (junk shop find)which can't be seen because of the nice cabled shoulder wrap with natural wood button so I'll try to find a picture that shows the jacket fastening!

Super tweed/calico tote bags

These lovely bags worked so well,thanks to Jeans skill with the sewing machine.Being a Luddite sewing machines terrify me! The outside is my felted wool tweed the inside is unbleached calico from Quarry Bank Mill. I'm very tempted to keep one for myself.
