Last Saturday saw the second meet up for the Stylecraft Blogstars at Spa Mill, Slaithwaite, West Yorkshire. It was lovely see everyone again and meet some new faces along with Annabelle, Sophie, Charlotte and Juliet from Stylecraft. It was great to get together with such enthusiastic and positive knit and crochet people.

Also joining the group via Skype were southern hemisphere bloggers, Angela from Australia and Zelna from South Africa.
The day started with a presentation showcasing the new Spring and Summer
collection. There will be more about the new
yarns here on my blog in the coming weeks and months.
Juliet and Annabelle made sure the Skype participants
were comfortable and had front row seats.

Before the end of the afternoon I had chance to take some photos of items on display and items some people had brought along to show the group. The theme seems to be blankets and throws and what lovely things they are. Here's a taste of the talent...

Thank you to Annabelle, Sophie, Charlotte and Juliet for organising such a great day for us all...
