Craft Dinner
Posted on February 6, 2013 by Cate
Knitting needles were clacking, spinning wheels were whirring, shuttles were flying, and a legendary amount of pasta was consumed this past Saturday at Craft Dinner, the Scotsville School of Craft’s first open-fibre crafting potluck of 2013. Occurring the first Saturday of every month, members and friends of the School are invited to spend the day working at their high-fibre craft of choice.
This month, beginners and experts alike had a fun time knitting, weaving, hand-spinning, needle-felting, and carding; some especially interesting attractions included the carding of wild mountain sheep fibre by Eileen Rickard, Alison Mustard’s knitted Swedish mitten technique, locally-grown flax being spun on a drop spindle by Vicky Quimby, and a card-weaving demonstration by Bill Quimby.
The next Craft Dinner will take place on March 9th from 10:30 AM to 3 PM. Members of the guild as well as the the public are invited to drop in and work on a project, learn a new craft, or see what’s happening at the School.
