On Saturday afternoon I was invited by Albert Moss to attend the first meeting of a new group, the Newbury Crafters.
They meet every third Saturday in the month at Speen Village Hall between 2 and 5pm. On Saturday there were people there from the Newbury knitting group and the guild of spinners weavers and dyers, but they hope to have a wide variety of crafts represented in coming weeks. I used to be a keen knitter, and it almost made me want to go home and dig out my knitting needles! Its a great idea for some company in what can otherwise be a solitary persuit. It also gives you encouragement and fresh ideas to try - one of the members was knitting a necklace from beads and wire.
