You do if you make one!  lol

The handclipping is at 10, 11 and 12.  We start to spin once the first is clipped, so I will run to the spinners' marquee as soon as he puts his blades down.

It'll be the Dutch Texel x at 10, then probably Charlie2 and Goldie at 11, Dora at 12.  Or a variation thereof ;)

I'm bringing my project bag that hangs on my wrist, so I can have a ball of yarn in there and knit as I walk about!

Here are a couple of shots of the shawl being modelled, the first by the lady who co-ordinated its stitching together and the second by myself.

And there are some more pics of the events here and here
