Looks a great exhibition and I think that Twiggy crocheted suit wouldn't look out of place these days, but what a lot of patience needed to make one. As for fair isle... Gill is welcome to try that.

We all have those "should I have worn that photos?". I look at my kids & hope one day, they'll be thinking the same. Quick question, could you take photos in the exhibition?Katharine Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12272802201564787548noreply@blogger.com
