Oh so pleased

Heckington Show this weekend. The knitting section was back to being divided into three classes (based on the weight of the yarn) after last year's try at putting it all into one class.


 Two of Lene Alve's beautiful patterns - both my work, and Lilleput got a first and Aada a third. Thanks to her!

 I hadn't shown my Half-hap shawl before, so it qualified, even though I had been wearing it as a draught stopper through the winter - it just needed re-blocking. It came first, and even won the trophy for the best piece of work in the handicraft section.

Happy is my middle name.

(Was Brian Sewell really there to win a prize?)

Yes, TA, in fact he won several prizes - but he didn't look or sound anything like he does when we see him on TV!
