July Nutshellby Sue, Ginger and Frank |
Our July meeting was small. That seems to be something of a theme, lately. Doesn't it?

Monterey County Fair runs from September 1 - 6. The Wool Auction is Labor Day, September 6th. The wool judging is August 21 at the fairgrounds. It starts fairly early in the morning, breaks for a potluck lunch and then continues until done.Next month: Sue will be at the San Jose Pride celebration with her jewelry booth. Frank is helping out. The meeting will need someone else to run it and photograph it.
Show 'n Tell
Chris: Started a new project in purple cotton - a bag for her laptop. She showed off the yarns she recently plied.

Marge: knitting a hat from yarn from her stash. She would like to dye some of her yarn. The group gave her a reference to Dharma Trading Co. to get dye. The website has information on dyeing. She has her own stash plus her sister Mary's stash of wool fleece. Marge is in Gilroy for about half the year while Arizona is too hot.
