SnB Gathering - September 12, 2007

It was a perfectly cool late summer evening, and we were working on some lovely warm items last night!

Carol brought in the baby set she recently completed:






Jeanne had her gorgeous (and resized for larger child) Tulips sweater:








And Claire had her Red Scarf contribution:




Finally, I finished weaving all the ends on my Tulips sweater:

Local Event in October!

On October 20, the Bishop Hill Fiber Guild will hold their annual event of workshops and lectures. The event encompasses all forms of fiber arts: felting, knitting, crochet, spinning, weaving, etc.

The fee is $10 (pre-event) and day of the event is $12. This fee covers most of the workshops/lectures. There are a few workshops where kits are bought separately (no more than $10, I believe). Lunch can be eaten on-site, for $6 per person.

There's also vendors of all sorts at the event.

Finally, the event will be at Black Hawk College - East Campus in Kewanee.

I will have copies of the registration information and forms this Wednesday, at SnB. If you can't make it to SnB, drop me an email.

A few of us went last year and had a blast! Several of us plan on going this year, so if you'd like to make it an SnB outing, let me hear from you!

FINAL ITEM: Please note that "last Monday" activities are suspended until after the holidays this year. We'll start up again in January 2008. Thanks!
