Change of Date for Workshop

We'd like to inform you of a change of date for Sharon Wickstrom's workshop. The previously arranged dates March 6th and 7th, will now be changed to the 7th and 8th. That's Saturday and Sunday. Sorry about the late change, but it was unavoidable due to medical reasons. For those who work, these new dates may be preferrable anyway. Contact Sharon if you're interested and send your cheque to Noelle! Thanks.

Heritage Week







Thank you for all of those who spun, knit, crocheted at the Mall this last week. A few more members of the public are now educated in our crafts. I was asked at least 4 times 'What happens when the string breaks?' and several children were just amazed at the spinning wheel going around, just wanted to watch. One little girl told her grandmother to go away and she did!

Fibres Unlimited





Monday was the first get together of the year. It was well attended with standing room only! There was a lot of catching up (chatting ) done.

Judith found time to weave while Gloria looked on.
















Gudrun showed everyone her scarfs she had woven. Elvi showed her scarf that she knit while sitting on the beach in Mexico.

Jean set up her knitting machine which she has donated to the guild . Thank you Jean.

A reminder that we can all meet again next week Monday to Friday at Piccadilly Mall. It is Hertiage Week so Monday bring your knitting to knit up a storm and the rest of the week your spinning wheel. It will be good to see you all there!
