We had a flower and produce show in Thwaite this weekend and I went to spin there. I was spinning Shetland fleece which I had bought at the Fibre East show.
This photo is taken inside the church where Mary Briggs had made a display of her daughters' wedding dresses.

Peacock shawl

I went to Fibre East last Sunday (24th July) and saw a lovely shawl knitted by one of the stall holders. She said she'd found the pattern on Ravelry, so when I got home I searched for it and used some of the yarn I had bought at Fibre East to knit it in rainbow colours.I had to take a photo of it in the garden because I didn't have a suitable background in the house!
