During our "show & tell" period Jude' showed off this roving and her Trindle spindle. She doesn't weave but uses the yarn in her knitting projects. She also passed around a sample of muskox she has been spinning. If you could just feel the softness.

Vonnie has a frame that she used to test some yarn for compatibility. Then she wove a narrow scarf with the yarn.
Linda showed a scarf she nuno felted at a workshop. It is beautiful. The log cabin placemat is a finished project.
Sara brought in a Weavette square loom. that has been in her family since the 1950s. It belonged to her grandfather who used it to make a blanket from the woven squares. Sara also visited with Cathy who is in physical rehab. Sara tells us Cathy is in good spirits and is making progress.
Lisa went to a dye class and brought a card with the dye results.
Susan brought the bag she wove on a rigid heddle loom with boucle yarn. She described the challenge of the bumpy yarn not going the easily through the heddle so she used a stick to beat the weft. The other piece she say is a fold scarf she created following a free pattern she found on the internet.
I couldn't help but notice the baskets people bring to meetings. From left to right: Jude', Linda, Vonnie
