The Guild members joined together once again to enjoy a belated Christmas celebration as tradition dictates. Nestled in amongst the Usk valley, more than twenty members arrived at the Greyhound Inn hungry and ready to fill their tums with tasty lunch.

A superb day for everyone attending, with printed take-home notes giving a history, technical pointers, colour exploration and 'simple' beginners patterns. There were several workstations set up around the room offering help with colour, design and two-handed knitting. There were so many beautiful knitting examples to see. A big thank you to Marilyn and all the helpers and demonstrators for providing such a valuable day.
