For our last official meeting of the season, Kim was the hostess for our day of spinning, socializing, programme planning for next season and feasting on the delicious pot luck lunch that everyone had contributed to.
We sat on Kim's patio and gazed at her Jacob sheep grazing, while planning our future programmes.
Many good suggestions were discussed and agreed upon.
We'll finalize and set a schedule at our first meeting in September.
Yvonne in the shade and Kim in the sun.
Enjoying the company and the spinning.
Our guild project this season was the exchange of 100 gms of fibre at the October 2011 meeting.
The recipient had to spin the fibre supplied by someone else and then make something from it. At this get-together, we gave back the finished 100 gm creations.
Kim opens the parcel containing the item made by Karen from Kim's alpaca.
Kim's dog Smudge had to be in on everything.
Kim's Alpaca and suede bag
Jane with the knitting bag made for her by Mara, who dyed, spun and knit the bag from white Corriedale fibre that Jane had supplied.
Karen with the fingerless mitts that Yvonne made for her to use while driving the school bus.
Wendy shows off the pouch that
Shirley made by dyeing fibre with KoolAid, spinning and then knitting it.
Joy was not able to come, but Karen shows off the hat that Jane spun and knit for her from Joy's stash of her own Rambouillet fleece.
MISSING AND HOPEFULLY SOON TO BE ADDED:
Pictures of : Janice's Onion Bag, spun and crocheted by Wendy from fleece dyed with onion skins that Janice had supplied.
Just after the exchange, it started to sprinkle a bit from the skies, so we fled indoors to have a pot luck feast accompanied by Kim's homemade wine.
What a wonderful guild day !!!!!
