Part two A sure sighn of spring

Please excuse my mistake, I have a new camera and I'm just learning how to use it. So here are my socks, now I do have to tell you that I have a light blue reinforcement yarn in the toe and the heel, so it does change the color just a bit. Yesterday (Sat) Katie, Teresa and I went to Omak for a Guild meeting at Rhonda's house. We had a last minute change in where we were meeting, but Rhonda stepped right up and offered her home. There were ten of us I think, and a new person, who's name I can't spell, but it was very nice meeting her, she is a neighbor of Ingrid's. She is an artist and teaches art too. We had sort of a formal meeting in that Dianne has been busy getting us back on track, and we are again members of N.W. Regional Spinners Association as a Guild and members of Association of NW Weavers Guild. We are so happy we're back to being a part of these organizations again. We had a great show and tell, but I can't show pictures for the same reason I couldn't post pictures on my last blog, to big for dial up. I can tell you though, Dianne, has made two beautiful scarfs one for her and one for her Aunt Marilyn, then she made a pair of socks, that her Daughter has claimed as hers, she also made the most adorable little baby sun hat. Dianne's Mom Carol also made one of the baby hats and she was working on a shawl. Then there was Ingrid who was using up left overs, not food but yarn, and wove a beautiful, soft and cozy throw, in colors of fall, I came close to leaving with it. Then Harriet, had her first weaving project, and let me tell you she did a fabulous job, they were so nice. The artist Minoan does the most interesting lovely hand painted silk scarfs. Last but not least Rhonda showed her quilt that she was finishing up for her grand Son, she has an embroidery machine and did some adorable little animals on it. You can't help but come home inspired by things so nice. To see the yarn I dyed for theses socks, just look at my last Blog. Lonny and I are taking a couple of days off to go to Sun Moutain Lodge this week, it will be fun. Have a great week! diana
