The Langely Weavers and Spinners Guild hosted a retreat at Timberline Ranch in Maple Ridge............. it was great fun. Lots of good food, good friendship and laughter.
I bought more fibre that I really didn't need but oh I WWAAAAAAAANNNNTTTTTEEDD it.
I went with Susan and Sybil and came home with Gail and Sharon. It was nice to get to know some of the Gals better and share knowledge and tips.
There were 3 workshops:-
"Beading" with Denise ............... I now have a lovely blue bracelet
"Spindling" with Lynne ............I joined in even though I know how to spindle, you never know what you might learn .
"Plying for Colour" with Krista ............... I have to finish this but it is really neat.
Everyone won a door prize .............I got one of Doris's needle cases. It is lovely and now holds all my circular needles. Thanks again Doris. Lynne from Knitopia gave everyone two balls of sock yarn ...... these will be for me.
My gift from the gift exchange was a lovely sheep mug with FIBRE in it. To top it all off ....................... I won the 50/50 draw .......................... can you guess what I did with it????????? Maryann and I split a beautiful lambs fleece. There is only ONE PROBLEM .................. where do I put it...........LOL. I guess it will go with the fibre I purchased at "Fibre Fest" the previous weekend. I also won a door prize there, some merino/silk/alpaca fibre to spin.
I can't believe how lucky I have been. I don't usually win things but I am really going to enjoy my new fibre..........
Thanks for the comment on my blog. I have signed up for two KALS, Secret of Bad Nauheim and Mystic Light but realistically will probably only do Mystic Light at this stage. Was going to e mail you but could not find an address. Judy
