Our "Winter Woolies" Tree at the Festival of Trees

The Festival of Trees was during the Thanksgiving weekend. Tuesday night a few guild members decorated our tree for the event and it came out beautiful! Here are a few photos of our tree with some of the beautiful ornaments we created!

Friday, around 12:30, guild member Gloria was on stage when they announced the winners. Unfortunately, we didn't win a ribbon and we are not exactly sure how they judge the winners, but our tree came out wonderful and is a winner to us! Proceeds for all donated trees benefit United Cerebral Palsy.

LIKCG'S WINTER WOOLIES
Here's our tree topper with some novelty eyelash yarn, with needles sticking out and five larger sweaters (that wouldn't fit into the ornaments) spelling out the word P-E-A-C-E.

Here's some of our ornaments. It was difficult to take pictures of all the ornaments and the tree. Our tree was in a grouping with two other trees.

Thursday, September 8, 2011

Hello everyone! Just a little reminder that we are having Jack of Lion Brand Yarn as our guest this month. We haven't seen him in a while and are very excited for his return. In the past, he's brought samples of new and current yarns and explained how some of the yarn is manufactured. Please come a little early so you may find a seat. We'd like to start the meeting as soon as we can so he can go through his presentation. Afterwards, we'll have show and tell.

See you on Thursday!

Angela.

CATCH UP!!!

Hello all. Sorry for the absence! We had a little technical problem. All is well though and we will try to start posting again.

Much has happened since our last post I hardly know where to start...how about at the Huntington Sheep to Shawl Festival the board members attended on April 27. It was a wonderful experience! I highly recommend everyone goes next year.

Our next big event was our first bus trip to the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival. Can you say...
'sensory overload'? It was a great day. Here are some pictures:






















It was a wonderful day of laughing, talking, walking, browsing, buying, touching and just being all together. One of the things I enjoyed the most was picking out a raffle prize. Each board member picked a little something up at the festival. On the way home everyone had a chance to win one of them. It was great fun. We are hopeful of planning another trip soon!
