Janet shows fruits of labour

Janet Smith of Woy Woy had been knitting most of her life, when six years ago she took up the added skill of spinning wool.

Making a garment, from spinning the wool down to sewing on the last button, can be an arduous task, but the fruits of Janet's labour will be on display when she exhibits at The Central Coast Handweavers and Spinners Guild "Fibre and Fashion" exhibition.

Ms Smith will have a cardigan at the exhibition which runs from Thursday, June 17, to Sunday, June 20.

She will also be using her skills to knit the first prize in the raffle, with the colour, design, pattern and size chosen by the winner.

She said she liked being in the Guild for the companionship, nice people and good times.

Visitors to the exhibition will also be able to catch a display of handcrafted good, spinning weaving, tapestry demonstrations and be able to learn a new craft.

Entry is free.

There will be a trading table, raffle and tea and lunches available.

The exhibition will be at the Cottage, Russell Drysdale St, East Gosford, from 10am to 3.30pm.
