Knitting holidays in France 2016 knitting and crochet workshop with Carol Meldrum

We are into the 4th day of the workshop with Carol, the sun is shining and everyone seems happy. This group is truly international with guests from the US, UK, Spain and France. Carol has set a project for a cushion cover with the following brief -
'Dip into the world of modular textiles to create your very own design. Throughout the week we will focus on creating blocks and squares in a selection of techniques, so you can knit, crochet or mix and match to your hearts content'.

Here are some of her samples
