Another event over for the year

This weekend's event was the Harvest Festival at Salomon Farm. The deal the spinning guild has with parks 'n rec is we help them promote the park in exchange for meeting at the learning center for free. Fortunately, I was not the organizer and just provided support: brought balloons from the previous weekend (it's our 50th anniversary) and the banner and helped set up and tear down.

The guild had two tables, one for demonstrating carding and spindling (geared toward kids) and spinning and one for sale items. Two of our members have been very busy knitting and crocheting little stuffed animals, which were a big hit. Their success is timely, as the program for this week's meeting is "earning money from fiber".

Knitting: Another pair of socks is complete; separate post to follow. A guild member who sells handmade, homemade, and homegrown products at farmers markets showed us some headbands she knits, so I had to start one when I got home, from sock yarn.

Spinning: Romney, Romney, Romney; the singles are fine and that takes a long time.

My SO and I have been regular visitors at Kinhouse Art, a small gallery here in town. The two artists who use part of the gallery for their studio mostly work in textiles, which gives me ideas of what to do with all that tie-dyed muslin I have, which has me circling back to fabric printing. As if I don't have enough to work on.
