February 2024

For our February meeting Leslie Greenquist from All Wound Up showed us how to knit fair-isle hats.

The activity was enjoyed by our members. Here are some works in progress

A second group was formed for those who weren’t ready for Fair Isle, including one member who had never knit before! She was a natural!

Leslie shared with us some examples of color knitting and colorwork from her shop

Our show and tell included a knitted sweater by Christine Stewart; Towels by Yvonne Ellsworth (which are published in Handwoven magazine Spring 2024), as well as a sample of 8-shaft overshot, and a knit hat; a hooked rug by Karen West; sewn bags from leftover quilt scraps by Shirley Pauls with some more examples of felted paper items.

Next month our program will be on March 12th with a weaving round table. Try out rigid heddle, multi-shaft looms, or inkle weaving round robin fashion.
