Knit Cornwall

 

June 1 – 11, 2013

 

 

They say it is hard not to fall in love with Cornwall!!  Located in the far west of Great Britain on a peninsular tumbling into the Atlantic Ocean with 300 miles of glorious coastline which defines its character.  Add to that medieval harbours, wild moorland, green pastures, beautiful gardens, a fascinating history and excellent restaurants, cafes and pubs.  The special Cornish light has attracted and inspired artists and craftspeople for generations.
