First here are some pictures of some alpaca I had spun up last month. As you can see, the fiber is purchased (Knit Wits). I don't have yardage, etc with me just now.. But I believe it was 7 oz of fiber and I got about 500 yards.I am sorry for not posting in such a long time. October is MOHAIR month!! Our meeting last night (10/18/07) was fun. We had three new spinners come and join us and we hope they will both be back for our November meetings. Reminder: Our November 1 meeting - we will be upstairs - either in the Chapel or upstairs near the pool table.
One of our newbies does not spin, but raises alpacas!! She had some fiber with her that she skirted while we all spun & Kat crocheted!! All in all - it was a fun evening.
Here is what's new:
Jaci is looking at getting some sample swatches. Anyone intereted in volunteering to either spin or knit a swatch - please let Jaci know at one of our meetings.
Brooke is putting together a presentation board. So any pictures you have of spinning or fibery stuff, bring to a meeting to add to our board.
Jaci had business cards made up and stickers for the back so folks would have a little map of how to find us - very cool.
Sunday, November 1: We are looking for 3 spinners to do their spinning thing for a living history gig. The hours are from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. If you are available, let me know.
OK, Gotta run. I hope to see everyone at the November 1 meeting.
