Shawl displayed at Easter show
A night shawl knitted by Woy Woy local Ms Patricia Davis has been "showcased" at the Royal Easter Show's Arts and Crafts competition.
While she didn't win, Ms Davis said she was happy with the result.
"Being showcased is a great achievement in itself, considering the amount of entries there were this year," Ms Davis said.
After a two-year break from competitions due to illness in the family, Ms Davis said she was currently knitting with the intention of getting her "mojo" back.
Ms Davis attends a craft class every Friday at the Ettalong Baptist Church and a knitters guild once a month.
Ms Davis said that it was through the support of her knitting community that she was able to complete her entry for the Easter Show.
"It was dear friends from my knitting class who encouraged me to knit again.
"I was so relieved when I finished my shawl for the Easter Show," she said.
Ms Davis said she also intended to enter in the Hawkesbury Show for the sixth time which will be held this month.
She said she had also set her sights on the Penrith Show, which will be held in August.
