September 2021 Meeting

At last we were back at the Barn Hall – socially distanced at least at first.  

This was a lovely meeting, with news of absent members and a yarn sale as well as a demonstration.

Lots of us gathered to watch a demo from Tricia who was showing us a Bill King idea from an old Machine Knitting Monthly magazine issue.  It was a time consuming idea where stitches were transferred  by hand, the result was a stunning  pattern that could not be discerned from the right hand side so the process could be error-prone.  

There was a show and tell and Sarah passed around some stunning felted bags we had only seen on Zoom.  Angie had crocheted a super stripey cardigan in a chunky yarn which was also admired.   Let me know if I have forgotten anybody’s work. 

We also had our usual coffee and cake after the demo.

We also have a members challenge – make an interesting scarf /scarves to show at the December meeting.  everyone is encouraged to join in.
