More about Richmond

After a lunch of super soup and rolls, topped up by scrumptious muffins, two members who have been working on the tapestry weaving course led by Marilyn Rea-Menzies spoke about the process and showed us their beautifully executed samples. They have completed the first two courses and are about to embark on the third. Watch for some excellent work to come . . . it is already impressive.

Also impressive was the work of new members, our own Mary's first piece among others . . . a gamp showing several four shaft threadings and treadlings. Another much admired first was a pink wrap by a beginner weaver, notable because it was woven double width on a rigid heddle loom. How's that for a starter! Pictures are on the previous post.

Now, to come right up to date, here is a slice of watermelon, knitted on a recent visit by our Aussie friend Barbara . . . last seen disappearing in the direction of Sydney. I'm sorry I didn't take a photo of the yarn while it was still in the ball.

Overdue Catch Up

Apologies to those who have been looking for latest news and photos. I have fallen into the facebook trap and posted photos there, forgetting that some of you are strong-minded enough to avoid facebook and its tendency to swallow up our precious time. To add insult to injury I had been logged out of this blog and couldn't remember my password - well I thought I could but Google didn't agree with me.

Here are some pics taken at our September meeting which was in the form of a visit to the Richmond group. It was a busy, buzzy meeting as Felters and Spinners all met in the same hall as the Weavers!  It was a bit hard to hear the speakers at times but everyone managed to get their message across I'm sure. I will write a bit more soon but in the meantime here are some photos.
