The day unfolded with a brisk frost.  I set up my stall at the Cambridge Trash n Treasure Market and settled in for a very cold morning on the shady side of the main street.  Equipped with a couple of hotties and lots of layers, I began preparing some wool for spinning on my wheel.  The art of carding and spinning fibre into yarn, proved to be an attraction to many. Children were fascinated and their parents explained. Elderly reminisced and others observed the therapeutic motion of the wheel and all of its parts.  It was truely “warming” to be able to demonstrate the process from scratch and maybe plant a seed with someone to pick up the craft. Even though the temperature was bone chilling on the shaded side of the street, I felt inspired and contentment was my friend.

The Kombucha tea was very well received. Their beautiful colours reflecting the light. Some people remembered it from their home country and were very pleased with the find.  Others had been learning of the benefits of fermented foods and they too were excited to be able to take some home. Wildberry was the hot flavour of the day with Apricot, close behind.  The fingerless gloves were also a hit as were the 100% cotton hand knitted dishcloths.

I took the opportunity, while at my stall, to begin work on my next projects which will be a knitted Kimono Slipper and Namaste Socks. The socks will be especially good for those who practice yoga.  I will keep you posted on their progress.

Thank you folks for your support.
