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:

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.

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!

October 10, 2007 Gathering

It's been a while since FOs showed up here, so let's get to it!

Ginny brought in a halter she knit and was able to wear the last incredibly stupidly hot day (in October - 90F degrees!) we had on October 7; it looks like she was quite comfortable in it!
