Join the team at Owl Tree Crafts, Norfolk,
for its stashbusting Saturday session on
16th November. Taking place between
11am-3pm, this workshop aims to
motivate you to pick up that WIP that’s
been tucked away for some time or
that yarn that’s been sat in your stash
for months and transform them into a
completed project, with moral support
from a host of likeminded crocheters
and knitters. Spaces are just £3, which
also includes refreshments.
