Show and Tell, July Meeting

Above and below, Joan's beautiful wrap
incorporating silk and handspun alpaca.


Judy B's super-soft scarves in 3/1 twill
with ends hemstitched on the loom.

Rosemary's soft acrylic blanket in shades of grey.

Betty has been experimenting with weft-faced weaving
and enjoying the vigorous beating.

Judy B's scarf with two layers, slightly offset,
stitched together with double weave blocks.

Also Judy B's, a linen scarf with contrasting lines of inlay.

One of Chris's tie-on summer and winter throws incorporating mohair boucle.
This is number three in a long line . . . number four to tie on next. 
Rose has a work in progress combining
linen weaving and hand made bobbin lace.
The summer and winter workshop that didn't happen when the CF Event in Nelson was cancelled.
Some people worked on their samples anyway.

Not weaving but beautiful crochet. Jolet started working on this at lockdown.
The variation of colour is in the yarn.


Nancy is a knitting guru and always comes up with something fascinating.

This month we had a visit from the Marlborough Lacemakers' Group. This is a "mantra" from a 1980 Lace magazine:
 From breaking thread and bending pins, brittle parchments, unmarked prickings, lumpy pillows, half hitches that run, and people who say "Is that all you have done?" Good Lord deliver me.


Seen at Marlborough Weavers' Meeting

By their scarves you will know them!
