Kaleidoscope knitting and crochet workshop 2013

The second day of the workshop went well, all the group are well into their projects and spent the morning working on them. After lunch we went to La Verderie for tea and time for everyone to have a mooch through my dwindling yarn stock and see the current exhibition in the gallery. Then we went round the corner to Egreteau our local Cognac producer for a tour of the distillery and a tasting session of Pineau and Cognac. Pappy the owner is constantly amazed at how Culli manages to appear with all these different women every few weeks!
