October 2020 Meeting

A smaller group this time . . . a busy time of the year for many. Here's what we got up to:

Topic for the day was Shadow Weave and again we had a great collection of Cross Country samples to study.

Who is that always comes up with some luscious yarn? Nancy of course. We will be watching to see what she does with it.

Rosemary often comes up with a surprise. This time she has woven sets of coasters in crochet cotton and very neatly hemstitched the ends.


The photo does not do justice to this soft, soft, soft scarf woven by Betty in cashmere she was gifted. Lucky lady!

In this case is will be Lucky Chester! Anne was the only person who had brought along shadow weave she had woven. The plan is to make special coats for her delightful dog.

Joan was wearing this huck lace scarf woven in rayon. We had a brief discussion on various types of plant based threads and synthetics. We hope our new weavers learn something at every meeting.

High on the priority list at the moment is our Guild Handworks exhibition coming up in November. Forms need to be in now and exhibits labelled and ready to deliver next week. It should be a really good show. Don't miss it.
