About Me

East Ayton, Scarborough, North Yorkshire
A group of ladies who enjoy traditional embroidery but who meet once a month to try some experimental work. We meet at Ayton Village Hall on the third Thursday in the month for a full day and again on the first Thursday for half a day. We currently have a waiting list of people who want to join us.

January Meeting

Just looked at the blog and it seems ages since our workshop with Alice Fox in November.  13 of us had a lovely Christmas lunch at Betton Farm, just up the road from where we meet and the day was enjoyed by everyone.
Now it is January and we are back to normal.  We had a quiet meeting with everyone doing their own thing and getting settled back into routine.  Postcards had been exchanged in December and those who weren't here exchanged today.  There is some coastal work coming along and some poem work too.  I have purchased some 5ply wool and have started knitting samples of Gansey patterns as I am working on a theme of fishing.  Took me a while to work out the pattern but got along fine once I realized the instructions were for knitting on 5 needles and in the round and I am working on two needles from side to side!
