Michele is felting a new picture.

Jacquie's two scarves, one is linen and one is cotton.

Two blankets by Margaret F. from the Handwoven magazine
 Summer/Winter Weave, she did this in an overshop. 
4 harness in two different treadleings.

Notice the different patterns?

Margaret was also weaving rag rugs. She shared
with us different pointers she found along the
way that helped make her weaving a bit easier.



Margaret found this book at our local library - "Salt Water
Mittens".  There are patterns for mittens, gloves and
wristlets in this book. She knit a pair of mittens.

Elvi's skein from "West Coast Colours" she spun. It is
60% merino, 20% yak and 20% silk. She is not sure what
she'll do with this skein yet.

Elvi's tea towels in circles and squares. All the same warp from 
Handwoven May/June or June/July 2019 magazine.
She couldn't remember which, if interested you will have
to look it up.

This is Jennifer's something old with
adding something new to it.

houses. The kids enjoyed watching her needle
felt on them at Heritage Day's last week at the mall.

Some are wet felted and some needle felted.

husband. All her own hand spun and some fibre from her
own animals. The alpaca sweater with wool is for her husband.
