Fibery Fun Weekend
Hey Robin,
This weekend I did quite a bit of fiber-related things. On Friday, I decided I wanted to make some stitch markers. I found a really great weblog that gives instructions on just that. Adventures in Geeky Knitting" posted a great tutorial on how to make stitch markers.
I love them. Starting from the top left: tiger's eye, misc. pale blue beads, frosted pale blue beads; bottom left: butterflies with pink/deep purple beads, blue heart and star beads, and butterflies for a friend. Five of the stitch marker sets was made Friday night, the last one was made Saturday evening.
Early Saturday I headed over to Cary, NC to participate in our guild's demonstration at Lazy Daze. I don't have pictures of that, but someone in the guild took pictures. There were members demonstrating felting, spinning, crochet, and knitting. I demonstrated drop spindling on my little drop spindle you gave me. We had lots of visitors and handed out lots of our brochures, so hopefully new members will be joining in our fun guild. The arts & craft festival was packed with people. I couldn't believe how many people were there.
We were very nicely placed on an offshoot area in the shade of a tree. We had a canopy over us and our guild prez brought 2 small fans that worked wonderfully. We were all very nice and cool. Lots of kids stopped by and wanted to learn how to drop spindle. Not many adults wanted to try, but we had one try it out.
On Sunday, I went shopping for a few more beads and some organizers. Not much fiber stuff going on today.
Hope you get to try making some of these stitch markers!
