What a fabulous day! I spent yesterday at A Good Yarn, Cleethorpes; being taught by the wonderful Heike Gittins. It was a Freeform Madness workshop and I spent it alongside my fellow knitters and crocheters, such as Faded Reverie. Here are some photos of the creativity going on. (Apologies for the not so great photos; taken on my mobile).
The bags at the top are Heike’s creations and very inspiring indeed and the photos don’t do them justice. I love all the lovely little details on it. Lots of buttons and ribbons….
I found it very creative and a fabulous idea to use up all my oddments.
I need a new swimming bag so I’m going to try and build it up quite a bit and make a large bag.
Below is what I have made so far: I got carried away with the crocheting. I love the contrast between the textures of the knitted and crochet fabrics.
