Episode 8: Make, Do and Knit

On my needles, hooks and spindle: I finished seaming the stripy sweater... and the missing bear... I finished crocheting blocks for NYOBE Round 5: and I finished spinning the Shetland Top and then plied it: Make, Do and Knit, Liverpool A lovely relaxed atmosphere at the show, from the Blue Coat School at Liverpool (exterior and interior shots of the chapel).
