For those who missed the Guild meeting on 3/1/07 - Jaci demonstrated the Navajo plying technique - I think we were good students. No one stomped their foot and I didn't want to cry!! A good sign! (laughing).
March 15: Bring some green fiber to spin. On 3/1 Jaci provided into on the Sacramento County Fair. One of the events is "Best Spinner" - the comment was made that it would be fun to do some of the events at our guild meeting. For example: for "longest thread" contestants are given 10 grams of carded wool and allowed to spin for 20 minutes. Yarn will be judged for length and quality, was well as amount of fiber used." But here is my favoriate: (drats, can't find the exact language) the general idea is the spinner is given fiber, first you spin "regular"; then with rubber gloves on; then blindfolded!! How fun would that be??
March 15 will also be a night of long term planning for future meetings. Do you have a fiber you want to try? Are you a spindle spinner and want to try a wheel? or vice versa?? Come and share your ideas.
April 5 & 19 are our dates (the FIRST & THIRD of each month). Tell your friends, the more spinners the better!!
