September 18 Three-Shuttle Clasp Weave; Knitting Creative Shawls, Karel Armstrong and Yvonne Johnson
- Be prepared for lots of inspiration for dealing with your stash/bargain/novelty yarns. Karel Armstrong and Yvonne Johnson share the spotlight as they reveal their special ways to use these yarns creatively.
- Karel will take the “stash use” idea and show how a variety of yarns can be used with three shuttles in clasped weft weaving. She will show how to work with yarns coming from both sides and the center at the same time. She’ll have several finished pieces showing the results of her use of the technique on a rigid heddle loom.
- Yvonne has been a very successful shopper at MSWG sales, but hasn’t needed to add a special storage room at home. How does she manage this? She will share her creative and beautiful techniques to use her bargains with knitting projects. They are certain to elicit Oohs and Aahs!
October 16 Weavers’ Fashion Show, Sewing with Handwovens MSWG Group
- Wilda Postel and Amy Casper are busy organizing a parade of handwoven and sewn fashions. The details will be a surprise, but many interesting items by guild members are promised.
November 20 Yarn Substitutions, Kristin Hansen and Carma Koester (Note: This program replaces the previously listed one.)
- Guild members and fiber experts Kristin Hansen and Carma Koester join forces for today’s program. Perhaps you’ve been to Fiber Creek to seek their guidance on a particular project. Whether you knit, crochet, or weave it is likely that you’ve been puzzled a time or two about how to follow a pattern when you don’t have or don’t like the yarn specified in the pattern. How do they make it seem so easy?
