Vest & Free Form, Ext. 1

Look how cute Carolyn is in her knitted vest.
Karen crocheted this sweet baby blanket.
Sharon's free form purse turned out great. Her purse is large so you know she put a lot of work into it.

Linda completed her free form purse.
Here is the lining and the handles. The handles were made by sucking the yarn up into the tube.

A tool called a Weave It.

Happy Birthday to May knitters! Tonight was the first night of the spring extension. Linda showed us her beautiful free form purse that she finished. She also brought in a “weave it” tool for anyone wanting to try it; it is a tool from the 1930s. Also a get well card was passed around for Ruth who dislocated her hip.

Hit & Miss Scarf
Linda brought brown lunch bags again for anyone participating in the hit and miss scarf on Monday, May 12 and 19.

Yarn Tasting
The yarn tasting at Fibers was nice. See photos by clicking “Yarn Tasting” on the left column.

Art Walk
Linda asked for volunteers to help Diana set up for the Art Walk on June 12.

Challenge
Our bra challenge is due on June 5, so Linda can preview our handiwork before the Art Walk.


Out of the Box
Andrea reminded us about visiting the Out of the Box art show in Auburn and the handweavers conference in Sacramento.

New Dentist
Diana announced that she is working for a wonderful dentist named Dr. Dunn on Bell Road. If you are looking for one, she has a coupon for you. Roberta agreed that you cannot find a better dentist than Dr. Dunn. He will also be speaking at a free seminar on May 13 from 6-8 p.m. at the Winchester Swimming and Tennis Club on 1400 Lodgeview Drive in Meadow Vista. The seminar is about the advancement in visual cosmetic procedures and treatments.

There is no class next week. See you on May 15.

I didn't get to try the Weave It tool, but it looks very much like the
potholder crafty toy my kids used to make. I always loved those potholders...

Glad I got a chance to see the Out of the Box art exhibit. It was so inspiring!

Wonderful finished projects from our group!

And, as always - another informative blog post. Thanks, Irene!
