Social Sunday...

this Social Sunday was truly social...

the amount of Chat we did,

but we did do some crafting as well,

also worked on the upcoming programme dates, ideas for projects.

Using the blending board for the first time...


Happy crafting

Our Club Day on Thursday June 6th was well attended by our members.

We continued working on our craft, and enjoyed seeing 2 cushions woven by Evelyn.
the wool was spun by Lin and Vallory, from fleece wool donated to the club.

The club's correspondence was discussed and of note was the dates for the NZ Creative Fibre Education Event for 2020. This will be held in Nelson, May 7th to May 10th, 2020, at the Trafalgar Centre. Save the dates - interest was strong from our members to attend.

Otago Association sent a newsletter full of information and reports from other Otago groups.

Also Show & Tell included silk knitting, baby singlets, a shawl, Lin's "bitsy" yarn and more...

Plans were made to attend the Otago S&W Assn focus day in Mosgiel on the 8th. The focus is to be
on Weaving, but any craft can be done on the day.

Next Social Day is Monday the 17th June, then Sunday 23rd, with Club Day on July 4th.

Happy crafting.

Big Gap I know but LIFE....

Yesterday was Club Day - always the 1st Thursday of the month -

we chatted and knitted and spun-

also discussed the funds, the correspondence and coming events...

Show and Tell and a Sales Table, busy day.

Evelyn's fabric

This is a fabric woven by Evelyn - from spinning done by Lin and Vallory (I think)
It is from the Quarter Century old fleece donated to our club...
Made into some superb cushions,

the 'bits' refers to Lin adding, as she spins, all the bits, the "rubbish" from your carding.

Next we are going to the Otago Focus day on Saturday 8th June,
Social Monday is 17th June, and Social Sunday is the 23rd.
happy spinning around
