Jan 2018 Show and Tell

It was a smaller turnout than ususal for this month's meeting. The snow storm we were being warned about came early so those of us living further north listened to the advisories and stayed home. Fortunately, our members in Oliver and Osoyoos were able to make it and here is their Show and Tell. Thank you to Ewa for the photos and comments.

Jen showed the many skeins of  mohair that she
hand spun, some with silk, as well as a mat she
wove from cotton which she had dyed using
walnuts and other odds and ends she picked up
from the guild's stash sales.  

Cynthia wove a burgundy scarf from tencel and bamboo,
small napkinsusing a syncopated rose path pattern
 and cotton hand towelsAdmin Note: the weave structure Syncopated threading Rosepath
is on p. 217 of Anne Dixon's book Handweavers Pattern Directory

Klaudia showed her efforts over the christmas holidays with a
pair of wool gloves, wool socks andon with cotton dish towels.

Marg H was busy again producing three pair of

stainless steel appliances are very popular.
