Harrogate, Knitting and Stitching Show

As usual there was so much to see....but the crowds....we were packed in like sardines ....it was so hot.... I have never before heard so many complaints of  the over crowding from the other people trying to move through the halls and comments of What if there was a fire? was heard several times...I spent more time trying to get somewhere than I did actually seeing the exhibits and finding the stalls I wanted...
I managed to get pictures of one stand that I was interested in....Between the Lines by the East Anglian Stitch Textiles.... In response to it being 100yrs since the start of WW1. Check out www.easttextile.co.uk for more info on pieces....
I was interested in the use of metal within a piece of work  in particular but the whole exhibition was well put together with an array of techniques....my sort of thing ! I should have taken notes to attribute the work but I was later for meeting up for lunch...which also meant braving the crush of people.. You should be able to enlarge the pictures....
