February 15 Guild Meeting

I know this post is rather late (I forgot the password). We are meeting again from 5:30 p to 7:30p at Feather Canyon Gracious Retirement Center. (through front doors, go straight back our room is just slightly to your left (past the sofas).

The demonstration will be on Andean plying. Bring a bobbin of yarn ready to ply. With the Andean plying method - you use a single source of yarn (taking both ends and plying until you get to the center). This is a real treat and could be the end of "scraps' on our bobbins.

Bring your wheels and/or drop spindles too. The demonstration will be first (while residences are having dinner). After the demo there will be time to spin, practice your new skills to plying and meeting other spinners.

We had a rather large group of men and woman who live at Feather Canyon come by and visit us - the last 30 - 45 minutes was spent answering their questions and getting to know them a bit better!!

March dates for guild meetings are the FIRST and the FIFTEENTH - mark your calendars now!!

NEWS FLASH: KnitWits will offer 15% off the first three wheels they order. I am already on the list. So, if you know of two more folks who are in the market for a wheel, call Knit Wits at 530-877-yarn. Also, if you have other Ashford supplies you need, let them know. Hurry now and place your order for a wheel!!
