Big Microbes take over Touchstones Rochdale
On Saturday 31st October at Touchstones Rochdale great fun was had by both young and old who discovered what microbes such as salmonella, MRSA, cholera, penicillin, swine flu, common cold look like by knitting, crocheting, felting and pompoming thin into existence. In fact I belive I am right in saying that a pomtastic day was had! Don't forget that every month our Knitty Gritty meets in Touchstones Cafe. Just to remind you that when participating in an event at Touchstones Rochdale you have to be careful to keep your kitchen surfaces spotless - images of microbes in the kitchen can be discovered on Flickr!
