We were fortunate to have Meg from Twisted Fiber Art in Mason, MI come to our meeting to discuss the evolution of her yarn dyeing. She brought with her many of her lovely yarns for sale to our guild. Thought I'd never get all of you to sit down for the meeting. It was really difficult to wait until after her presentation to go look at and make purchases from her. I took many pictures, but I have to figure out how to get them here from Flickr. Forgot to bring my camera and had to take pics with my phone.
Well, finally figured out how to get pics. Here's a couple. Will try to get others on here.
Next month's meeting will be UFO (unfinished objects) finishing and our charity project kick-off. So bring in your UFO's and we'll help you finish them. If we have time, we may have our craft tables set up that we were supposed to do at this month's meeting, but didn't have time for. (Bad sentence, I know you're not supposed to end with a preposition.)
See you next month on the 11th, or earlier at Panera's. Have a good month and keep on knitting. 8-)
