We all gathered again online for our monthly show and tell in March.
Phyllis showed off nature in her backyard (Lake Superior) as well as some of her recent projects. She knit up some slippers intending to felt them, but the yarns didn't all felt up well. Group members recommended Brown Sheep yarn for felting. She showed off some rainbow dyed handspun and her nalbinding spiral.
Dawn completed a "funny little hat" and discovered that cattails in the dye pot result in a lovely pink color.
Denise has been card weaving inspired by a project in Spin Off magazine.
Mary started work on woven paper towels from Handwoven magazine. She's using linen paper yarn and warped with 8/2 cotton 20 epi. All is going well so far at 45 inches despite forgetting to put lease sticks in when dressing the loom. She also completed more adorable knitting projects!
Melissa completed 4 yards of wool for a jacket almost exactly one year after Mary Sue Fenner's guild workshop. She also carded and spun the loom waste to make some matching yarn. She also finished 4 feet of linen in a Huck-a-back pattern for a bag and spun and dyed some fleece using blue carrots, elderberry, autumn olive berries, and onion skin.
Karen T. felted an adorable set of planets with her grandson for his school project. She also completed a basket commissioned by someone in Eagle Harbor.
Although Poppy couldn't make the meeting, she shared photos of her current willow projects, saying she's been playing around with some new ideas.
Kathie took some black and white checkered towels off her loom recently.
