February meeting

It was good to get back to spinners and weavers today after the summer break. There was lots of chat and catching up as well as some sorting out ready for our exciting year.

Vida recently bought Anne Fields book 'Learn to Weave' and is aiming to work her way through some of the projects in the book. She started with these beautiful dish towels having to buy the cotton from the US to follow the book accurately
 
Valerie and Fay made this sweet cot blanket in the up-cycled wool blanket challenge, the detail is wonderful
Jessie very, very nearly finished her socks and just in time, she will need them when she gets back to Scotland in a couple of weeks time

Catherine has been spinning alpaca for the festival challenge in April
She also finished a couple of scarves on the sample it loom
and also dyed a couple of skeins using a glut of blackcurrants mordanted with alum
Pamela would have shown us dozens of stunning master pieces, however, she had rather more help than she could cope with! Double trouble!
