February Show and Tell


Sharon is doing a needle felting workshop for a group of 
friends (Silver Star Quilters). These are some of her projects
 she is using for samples at her workshop.  
Oh.... notice the ring? Congratulations Sharon 
on your recent engagement!
This was a blanket Lois made and the cat got into it and made
a few holes.  She then turned it into a shrug with beautiful
embellishments on it! Darlene is our model.
Thank you Darlene for modelling the shrug!
This is Lois's homespun thick yarn and dyed. Knit into this
poncho using size 36 needles to start down to a size 13 needles
to finish.  It is a Steven B pattern off of ravelry.
This is Ann's "Fat Marmot" yarn she used to knit
up this triangle shawl, worsted weight.  I just love
the colours!
Ann's baby alpaca and mohair kid silk knitted hat.
It was so soft and squishy. The colour was fabulous!

You know Gudie likes to recycle? These are her "weird
slippers" as she calls them, that her mom knit in 1985!
With a little felt on the inside and a knitted sweater for
the soles Gudie says it's like walking on a cloud! 

This is what Gudie called scribble knitting, three rows thin
yarn, one row thick yarn made into a squishy beautiful shawl!

Gudie's coloured yarn knitted on the bias and stitched
together to make a loop.  Gudie used a small hair clip to
shape the scarf.
Wool yarn for the Little Lake Project.  Stop by the Art Gallery
to pick up some yarn to knit up your cobblestones for this amazing 

project!  Guidie has been putting wool balls together for this project.


 
Lynne has a new book she would like
to share with you all.... The
International Weaver by Laura Fry.

Maureen's sister does this type of art and
Maureen received this beautiful jacket!
This small jacket is deconstructed then reconstructed, sewn,
felted 
then Eco dyed.  The stitching is called rebel stitch or
slow stitch 
which is a technique done all by hand.

Maureen will be visiting her sister soon, guess
what they will be doing?  What fun!
Loanna's baby sweaters.... Here's a little boys sweater!
She is stocking up for her summer sales!

Love these sweaters, they are all so colourful and very cute!
Loanna made this shawl for her friend who is having surgery.
She calls it her "Hug Shawl".  Sending hugs to her friend!


Louise's shawl is 80% acrylic and 20% wool.  This is a
bulky knit lace "Leaves shawl".

Alpaca blankets.  This one will be a throw for Louise's
husbands lazy boy chair!

One is a commercial weft and the other blanket is a
handspun weft.

Another of Loanna's baby sweaters!
Althea loves her new craft.  Rug hooking,
