March Show and Tell
Loanna with her first blanket! This was waulked
at the Heritage Days demonstration last week
at the Piccadilly Mall.

One of the tea towels
Carolyn wove last summer.

Carmen was busy..... what a beautifyul Shawl!
Such a brite colour.



This is Elvi's skeins of silk and baby camel mix.

Darlene wove a bunch of tea towels. She brought pictures
to show us.  They must be all gone!
Julie is working on "The McGuire Lake" project.  She used
a palm sander to help wet felt her lake piece. What a great idea!


Margaret made this cute Fat Cat, and knitted two baby hats.
She knit one for a boy and one for a girl.  Her daughter is due
any time now! Congratulations.

This looks like Marianne's blanket she wove this past summer,
sorry it just got pushed into a pile.  It was waulked at the Heritage
Days demonstration.  Lovely colours!  Marrianne is away for the
winter,  but she'll need this blanket once she gets home!

Louise has been weaving placemats.  She coloured the picture
on with a fabric crayon and ironed it into the placemat!
She said she was using up her stash.

This is more of Louise's spinning and a painted warp she did
with a group of ladies.  She wove it into this lovely scarf!

Gudie too is working on "The McGuire Lake" project.  Here
she had knitted and felted the pathway at the lake.  She also
was wet felting water patches.

One of Gudie's family members gave her some bits of yarn to
 make something for them.  She knit up a cowl using a nice pin
to keep it toghther.  She just has to finish her ends before her
company arrives!

Ann had been weaving and spinning this last month. 
Lovely tea towels and another skein too!

Loanna sure can knit! Here are more of her baby sweaters.
These pictures do no justice to the lovely colours and to show
off everyone' beautiful work!

This was knitted with a boucle yarn, you can hardly see the
pattern and cables in it.  It still turned out to be a nice soft shrug!

but.... What is Bea going to do once she is out of that wheelchair?
Here is another shrug and fingerless gloves she made last month!
The gloves were crocheted, she had just enough yarn to make this
 set for a friends 14 yr old grand daughter.
  Rod knit this Larch shawl by Knox Mountain Knit Co.
He choose the colours of the three seasons of the Larch
tree.  Gold for fall, light green for sping and the dark
 green for the summer colour. Birthday present for Bea!
