Happy Holidays December 2023

Karen T knit a cowl with hand spun yarn created from a mixture of Blue Leicester wool and Great Pyrenees

dog hair. She also showed us her finished purse with the inkle loom woven band.

She had more creations out of bark.

Elaine took an online tapestry workshop from Rebecca Metzloff 

She really enjoyed the workshop and she had a very nice tapestry as the result.

She mentioned Sara Swette and Robbie Lafleur as good tapestry teachers.

Karen M brought in some weaving she did on a Hazel Rose Loom and the loom and book with instructions.

David showed his Knit and crocheted projects with yarn he spun at Jenny Leister’s spinning class last year. David also finished his Tapestry form the September Guild Retreat.

 

David’s tapestry 10-2024

Jimalee’s favorite child’s sweater she knit this one in super wash wool from a a Lilly knitting pattern. 

Melissa also finished her September 2024 Tapestry class with Robin at our retreat. Melissa also shared the treasures report with us at this meeting.

Anita was shopping again and found some old items to share with all of us.

Phyllis had more to show from her Finland travels.

Rug warp - but colored

A great series of towels 

Sean is making more items , this time shoe laces with his tablet weaving on I believe a loom similar to an inkle loom. 10/2 cotton with wood glue to make the shoelace ends stiff.

Also more beautiful bands from his tablet loom

He created/invented a New Alphabet woven with zero twist, I hope Sean will explain that better when we have his workshop at our fall 2025 retreat.

 

    Sean found a paper knitting tool holder from Coco Knits

Mary finished the Arne and Carlos ‘Dancing Children Advent Stocking’ in time for Christmas Eve. Her Grand daughters each got a sock doll when she arrived in CA. The dolls are probably buried under all the Stuffies on the girls beds.

           

Next meeting is Saturday 1-20 2024 in the Fiber Studio at 1 pm.
