SLATER MILL EVENT

This event was wonderful, the room they held it in was a fiber artist dream with all the looms, wheel, tables, wooden floors ...aww the space!
I enjoyed meeting new people and letting them take a spin at my wheel : ) for those who tried spinning , all I can say is, keep at it, you have great potential. It lifts my spirit to know that the art of spinning, knitting, crocheting, weaving, basketry, are still being pursued. Hey guys! It was great to see all of you involved too! Thank you Ruth for putting this event together and making everyone feel welcome, that goes for you too Janice, and thanks to all who helped me lug in my wheels and stuff! Isn't Ravelry great, where else can you network and find out about awesome events and meeting great people!
Unfortunately, I was so busy with showing delightful future spinners how to spin that I didn't get any pictures, so if there is anyone out there that has some pictures to send me , I would greatly appreciate it.. I need to get more disciplined in taking pictures for my blog...duhh! Any way, if you haven't been to Slater Mill, check it out, it is a wonderful museum , with a delightful gift shop, and offers awesome classes!

Next, this coming weekend I am looking forward in attending my first weaving guild meeting...can't wait! and of course the following weekend RHINEBECK !!! whoohoo!
