Embellishing using Gadgets

This was not the official title to our meeting, but it could easily have been!

The club committee, minus Pat, took over, with Brenda producing a marvellous Strawberry Tea, Lynda demonstrating wire knitting, and Fran using the aforementioned gadgets to produce bobbles, tassels and braids.
