FEBRUARY ANNUAL MEETING
After the Hybrid Meeting we were privileged to have Christine assisted by Denise to  show how to draft a Bespoke pattern using cling wrap. Ensuring  that we now have a pattern that will fit us, Barbara showed us how use the design on a Knit Radar graph.
Very interesting demonstration.
