The Brighton Spinning Group continues to meet each Friday afternoon at The Green Centre in Manor Road in East Brighton. We have three spinning wheels and a number of drop spindles and although we're a self-help group, there is usually someone around who can show newcomers the basics of spinning.



Here's Carol talking another novice through the process at the Guild Exhibition at the end of October in Lewes Town Hall.

And here's Joan having a go on the Great Wheel with a glimpse of the knitted map in the background.



Someone helped themself to my handmade books of pressed flowers - not surprised really, they were gorgeous - and while I was off requesting an announcement about the loss, these handmade envelopes of woad, weld and madder seeds, wrapped in the appropriately dyed handspun yarn, also disappeared.
Poo.
