The Spinning Guild Meeting was terrific! I have been a member for just two months, but both meetings I have been to were very lively. This one was a covered dish supper. I met Melissa & Joanne there. Last month, Melissa wasn’t even sure she wanted to join the Spinning Guild – didn’t know if she wanted to take on another craft. In less than a month she has bought two wheels, dyed yarn, bought untold amounts of roving and learned everything and kept up with her job, house, family, knitting & quilting. (I can see that it is going to be hard to be her friend – note to self: hang out with Joann more!)
- 1. Proud Mary all ready to go. Spinning requires much more schlepping than knitting.
- 2. Melissa’s first wheel Whirly Girl. She is made from PVC, and works great. Melissa bought her to see if she even liked spinning. She now has an Ashford on the way – Whirly Girl II. Looks like she found a buyer for Whirly Girl I at the meeting.
- 3. a Kromsky
- 4. 50’s theme dinner
- 5. shopping – that friggin’ Melissa beat me to some good deals
- 6. as always happens when talented, vibrant women congregate – a vicious fight breaks out.
- 7. our party favors – that’s fleece in there!

Do I have to start spinning to maintain my friendship position? I’m getting a little concerned about this Melissa…
#3 needs to be resized! Huge. Looks like fun. I want to go to the next one.
Trust me, Ann, I’m not that impressive! But gee, you did leave out Coast Guard duties ;-)
I may almost have two wheels, but your yarn looks better than mine! Mine has piggy tails all through it.
Claire & Kathleen… get your butts over here gals, let’s play!
I figure I can “process” anyone’s yarn overproduction once you really get spinning.
Now that the official mom duties part of the summer is winding down for me, we do need to get together. My house would work, as long as I keep the aged downstairs AC on long enough to get the humidity down. Price of admission is something baked-we all know that you don’t want to put me in charge of cooking or baking.
Melissa can vouch for my ability to host meetings-when extra estrogen enters the house, the three menfolk vanish to the far corners of either the east wing or their basement lair. We get the run of the first floor.
