The Red Hill Show looms again. I received the program and entry forms today in the mail.

- Debbie Bliss toy sheep knitted using Jo Sharp DK
- Jaeger wrap around cardigan
- Jaeger embroidered jumper
- Rowan baby blanket / shawl
- Knitty baby blanket / shawl
I will photograph them and give some more details in my next post...
The big question is how many can I finish by 21 March when entries are due for submission?
