December 2007 - finally!

Things have been so clobbered up for me, so I'm behind in posting photos...so let's get to it!

Katie finished her shawl earlier in the month:












Jeanne finished her ruffled scarf:





Claire is working on her Celtic Dream cabled sweater (well, for now - enthusiasm seems to be waning at this point, cable fatigue you know...):




Carol finished her sweater in time for Christmas:




Theresa crocheted a lovely little hat:






Christina crocheted a sweater for a friend out west:








Katie was working on yarn ornaments later in the month:




Brenda finished one sock of a pair out of the new Noro sock yarn:






Lynn finished the scarf and hat set she was knitting, along with another beautiful scarf:








Christina also finished crocheting a tube scarf and hat set:






And also this lovely little hat...






Guess who it was given to as a Christmas gift:






Thanks to everyone for hanging out and playing with your fiber arts - you made this year a wonderful time away from the tedium of reality on Wednesday nights & Sunday afternoons!

Happy New Year

Red Scarf Project 2007

Barb sent me a photo of the scarves that went to the RSP 2007 this time around:




If you see your work, give a holler in the comments!

October 24, 2007 Gathering

It was a small, but rowdy, group last night. Just a few FOs present...

Katie tried to use up the rest of her Party yarn from the ring pillow she made:



Brenda finished a pair of socks:

Update

Katie sent me a photo of the beautiful ring pillow for her brother's wedding!




Thanks, Katie!

Bishop Hill Fiber Guild - Spin In 2007

Do you remember last year's excitement at this event? We returned for more fun!



While we didn't get lost like we did last year, we did stop to verify we were headed in the right direction. When we got to the site, we scattered either to classes we wanted to take or to go shopping. Jeanne and I opted for shopping first. Then after lunch (where some of us did more shopping), we attend the same class for making beaded stitch markers.




We had mascots.




And sharp tools.




Then we get stitch markers!






Brenda and Nancy won door prizes, and Christina won second place for her hat - congratulations guys!






Finally, more shopping and then our photo before departing.




This is Char, who was my main contact for this event.




Thanks to Char for her help and to everyone who went, it was a great time!

October 17, 2007 Gathering

Jeanne brought in a lovely woven shawl (which she recently completed) last night:






Katie brought in a beautiful knit ring pillow for her brother's wedding, but I missed being able to photograph it. I'll try to get her to send photos before the wedding this weekend!
