Hearth & Home II Wk 6

This week was designated to working on the rugs. Linda also demonstrated the wrap and turn. This technique is used on the "Easy as Pie" pillow.

See Gloria's huge yarn ball? It is made of loom loopers.

Stitches West
Our bus trip to SW is in two weeks, 2/25. Only five seats are left. We will be leaving the Raley's in Auburn at 7 a.m. sharp. It's better to be there at 6:30 a.m. The bus will be parked behind the Raley's building. There is a nice parking lot there for you to park your vehicle.

Donations are still being accepted. A warm thank you to Teri and Lynette for their donations this week. Linda is asking us to go through our stash and donate an orphan skein to be put into a basket as one of the raffle prizes.

Finger Puppets
The fingerpuppets are still on display in the Foresthill library. Linda met a woman in Foresthill who is interested in buying some of the fingerpuppets for her granddaughter. Linda explained to her that the puppets are not toys but a work of art. If you are interested in selling your fingerpuppets, you will need to decide on the price and make arrangements on your own. Contact Linda for a phone number.

Turbo Scan
Thank you to Cynthia who turned Linda on to Turbo Scan on the iphone. Linda can scan any pattern on her iphone and have it scanned and emailed to us asap. A buddy system was established for the ladies who do not have a computer or a printer, so they can receive a copy of the patterns sent to us.

Presidents
A big thank you to Karen M. who offered to make the tags for the presidents. We will need to give her the following information: Name of your president, Ordinal number, Years served as president, some very brief fact such as the reason is your president holding a horse or a towel...

The doll stand we will be using has a wood base that looks like cherry wood. It can be bought at Hobby Lobby in the back of the store right next to the sock monkey socks. The cost is about $2.77. Make sure to get the right size since there are three sizes. You will want the one that is about 7-1/2 to 8 inches tall.

Next week is dedicated to working on the presidents in honor of Presidents' Week. The dolls are due by May 1.

Claudia dyed yarn using peach stems pruned at the nursery. The color makes a really nice skin color.

Penny brought this old school chair for anyone interested in using it for yarn bombing. The cost was $5 and went to a good home.

Judith is wearing a Knotty Knitter shirt that Linda L. was giving away. See what you miss when you are not here?

Cynthia is working on a beautiful lace shawl. Wow!

Penny knitted this lovely lace scarf.

Carol knitted this cute drink cozy.

Linda L. made this zebra using Diane's pattern. She will mail it to a little girl in Africa.

 

Christianson Nature Craft Workshop in Missouri. Linda and her husband will be teaching at this camp. If you would like to attend, you will receive tuition and 1/2 off your lodging. It will be held the week of July 29.

Happy knitting!
