Wardsboro Town Hall Fiber Demo

Well, today the newly dubed 'Fab Fiber Five' have left their mark at the Wardsboro Town Hall. We had a demo day and added a few sales too. This was all to benefit the Wardsboro Library. Margaret Silva was weaving, Kathy Meeks needle felting, Jenna Konesko drop spindle, Alison Shantz wheel and Cheryl Flett wet felting. It was a super fun day to play and show adults and children the world of fiber.

Kathy and I have penciled a few classes. Very soon, a schedule will appear....promise! New things on board....that is all I am saying. Can't give away all the surprises:)

I have finally joined the blogging world. Wow!

Well, here I am, writing away on my first ever blog. Hopefully it will be a fun and useful thing for those who visit....hello, anyone out there??? Blogs are certainly fun to make...so far. If I can do it, it must be a breeze. Computers are NOT my thing.

As some of you know, I have been spinning recently. There was some baby alpaca that I have purchased a while ago from North Star Alpacas. I just discovered that a smaller and lighter spindle was the way to go. Little did I know that the spindle weights had a purpose. I would have never known. Enter the Greensleeves spindle, purchased at the one and only Margie's Muse. The project is coming out nicely. The inevitable question now is...what to do with it?? A knitter or crocheter I am not. However, there are many knifty knitters of all shapes and sizes lurking around. Is this cheating? They have hardly been used.

There is a companion piece to the spindle called the butchers crown. This covers and protects the hook when not in use, so the spindle stays balanced. You know, for those days when the spindle goes bump/thump/drop/bang! That is next on my 'list'.

Hum..I must really get to work now. The blog of babble must end. The fiber is calling, along with the laundry, dog, dust bunnies etc.
