We were prepared with bags for our purchases and tickets for the classes.<br>This somewhat quiet town had turned into an abundance of activity with coaches and cars of predominantly women all bustling into the event. I was pre-warned to watch my ankles and shins, as many had more than a bag to put their purchases in!! Four large halls were converted into an array of stalls, from cheap and cheerful to elite and high quality. There was a range of fabrics, wools and threads&#8230;where do you start? Toilet and coffee!<br>Not only were there many stalls, but workshops too, from basket weaving to needle felting. The classes were approximately an hour long, potentially long enough to learn a new skill. The workshops varied, as what was created (see photos). We certainly made the most of our day, in which we all had a little something to take home&#8230;so be prepared, we may be sharing our new skills at a WI meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tina<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/southportwi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/BC49595B-2654-4B18-A3EF-3D7A0B2287CF-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-692\" srcset=\"https:\/\/southportwi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/BC49595B-2654-4B18-A3EF-3D7A0B2287CF-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/southportwi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/BC49595B-2654-4B18-A3EF-3D7A0B2287CF-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/southportwi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/BC49595B-2654-4B18-A3EF-3D7A0B2287CF-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/southportwi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/BC49595B-2654-4B18-A3EF-3D7A0B2287CF-624x351.jpeg 624w, https:\/\/southportwi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/BC49595B-2654-4B18-A3EF-3D7A0B2287CF.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Needle Felting &#8211; Sharon\u2019s, Jo\u2019s and Tina\u2019s lovely owls.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/southportwi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/29FE256F-5A25-4658-809D-E94D334A9ADD-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-693\" srcset=\"https:\/\/southportwi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/29FE256F-5A25-4658-809D-E94D334A9ADD-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/southportwi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/29FE256F-5A25-4658-809D-E94D334A9ADD-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/southportwi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/29FE256F-5A25-4658-809D-E94D334A9ADD-624x832.jpeg 624w, https:\/\/southportwi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/29FE256F-5A25-4658-809D-E94D334A9ADD.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>Breakfast at Wetherspoons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/southportwi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/5D0C66AB-26FB-4185-AB9C-D4890D425B53-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-696\" srcset=\"https:\/\/southportwi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/5D0C66AB-26FB-4185-AB9C-D4890D425B53-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/southportwi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/5D0C66AB-26FB-4185-AB9C-D4890D425B53-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/southportwi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/5D0C66AB-26FB-4185-AB9C-D4890D425B53-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/southportwi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/5D0C66AB-26FB-4185-AB9C-D4890D425B53-624x468.jpeg 624w, https:\/\/southportwi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/5D0C66AB-26FB-4185-AB9C-D4890D425B53.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Tutorial with Japanese Silks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>November On Saturday 30th November, six members of Scarlets WI travelled on a frosty morning over to the annual Knitting and Stitching Show, held at Harrogate Convention Centre.
