One of the things I've done since we moved to the new area we're in is to join a knitting group. The organiser has actually set up 3 groups. 2 of these meet during the day but I attend a small group that meets in the evening. It's a small group but everyone is very friendly.
Well today we congregated for our Yarn & Cake sale. It was supposed to have been last Sunday but Storm Isha was threatening to dump a lot of rain and come through with very high winds. It actually wasn't as bad as that here in London but today was a much better day. It was quite chilly but it was sunny!
Our organiser had done a great job at gathering donations of yarn and getting people from all the groups to make cakes (myself included). There had been several prep sessions including yesterday and the big event was today.
Despite having changed the date we had lots of people turn up - there was a queue waiting for the doors to open:
I spent most of the session on the the cake stall:
It was a fun event and we raised over £800 for Macmillan Cancer Support.
(And yes I did buy some wool even though I already have loads!)
As Mary would say, what fun is a yarn sale if you don't buy any yarn?
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a very worthy cause and looks like it was great fun for all who attended. You raised a nice amount of money and had a good time. Congrats!!
