Slipped Stitch Woolly Flowers

There are all sorts of Bloomers in Sherborne  and these ladies prefer to create woolly petals  🙂

They assembled in the Slipped Stitch shop to  create crocheted flowers in  our summer colour scheme and these will be used to decorate the shop window when the  judges come round.

Let’s hope the judges will be duly impressed by their efforts…

Neighbours William and Richard were hard at work today clearing up the overgrowth and weeds left over from last year:
