Mary from a few of my lists, lives in the UK. She posted this on the lists and I think it worthy of passing on (I did get her approval to do so).

I know I have a handful of UK readers (hi, folks!) and want them to know about this good possible way to spend the weekend. I wish I could go, myself!

The Knitting & Crochet Guild Collection will be open to view on Saturday 13 August at Scholes near Holmfirth.

On show: Jan Messent’s knitting, including the historical dolls
Traditional British Knitting – mainland and island
Fibres – from wool to bamboo, via plastic bags!
Underwear
Children’s fashions through the Decades
Help Clinic
Gloves-on session for precious articles
Kim Wright’s spinning wheels and dyeing cupboard and much, much more.

Full details of how to get there, maps, photos, on the guild’s website www.knitting-and-crochet-guild.org.uk

If anyone goes and wishes to make a little report, I’d be glad to post a guest blogger column. Just pop me a note at Lynn AT ColorJoy DOT com and I’ll put up your review(s). Thanks!
