Lots of creativity

Let’s start upstairs …

Liz is making the most of lovely colours in her yarn.

Helen is weaving an interesting pattern – what will it be? We’ll have to wait and see.

Juanita is creating a colourful  design.

But what is Margaret doing?She has two narrow strips of fine cotton fabric, which are kept wet. She twists one strip and winds the length on a finger …

… and winds a length of the other strip to match.
You’ll have guessed it by now: then she plies the two together.

She learned the technique on a recent trip to India. Depending on thickness, it could be woven to make a floor rug or a throw, or a garment.

Time to go downstairs … we saw a few of these little teddies last time.

Several members have been adding to the supply. They will no doubt be a popular fundraiser.

Adrienne has been making another of her lovely rugs. This one is an interesting crochet design.

Just to prove it was possible, Marion has knitted up left-behind yarn made by some of the many beginners she has over the years taught to spin. And yes, it does hold together.

Rosemarie’s grandson will no doubt be delighted with the jacket she’s made for him.

And so will Juanita’s granddaughter when she sees the sweater above, knitted from her homespun yarn.

So much interest and inspiration!
