I'll be going, we can look at travelling together?  (Haven't looked into it yet, whether the train makes sense or I'll be in a car.)  (Plus someone might be roping me in to 'doing something', which may affect my timings... ;) :D)

I am seriously thinking about coming as well if I can get some courses booked around the area to help pay for the long journey and accomodation.
Looks like my needles and looms may be making an appearance as well ;)

Wish I still lived up north now

Ellisr - I have sort of promised to organise a crafty bit for the show but only now am I feeling sufficiently recovered to start thinking about it.   Your looms and needles etc will be most welcome.
Sally - you will definitely be roped in  ;D so you had better get that other sock finished, and JayKay too  8) ?  Any other offers?  We should start a separate bit to discuss this in.

Does anyone use horns - sheep, goat or bovine - in their craft work?  I would like to have as wide a spread as possible, not be limited to wool crafts, wonderful though they are  :thumbsup:

Does anyone use poultry feathers for fly tying?
