This one took a REALLY long time to finish, partially because of the work involved, partially because of how fine I was...

THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PHOTOSET IN THE WORLD
OK, so I’m nearly there, only a few bits left to make and label (batts mostly). I thought it might be quite nice to go through what I have ready for you.
I’m going to do this as a bullet point list highlighting a few with photos;

Due to continued illness I have had to cancel a few of the November shows. The only event Sara’s Texture Crafts will now be showing at is Knit -Expo, which is in Exeter on the 13th of November.
I may not personally be there, but the I will be represented by Darrin, who has very kindly agreed to help me out if I am not well enough to attend. So orders due for pick up are still possible.
Please check the website before you attend, just in case I have had to make further changes.
Sorry folks, I shall hopefully be back out on the road as soon as possible. Until then, the website is open as usual!
