Yesterday, I joined a Zoom Meeting of the Hebridean Woolcraft Group. We usually meet at the Barvas and Brue Community Centre on the first Saturday of the month. Each Saturday a guest speaker teaches us a new craft skill. During the past months we've had a sessions from locals- Sallie Tyszko teaching us small loom weaving and Jo George teaching us how to make a felted bird. At the meeting yesterday we were able to hold up any of the craft items we've been able to work on. It was amazing what started to appear. Examples ranged from crochet items (I am currently crocheting anything that doesn't move away quickly enough), knitted items, tapestry, wool dyeing from natureal sources, flower-making from tweed selvedges, machine sewn artwork and a weaver's experiments with unusual patterns and designs and more!
I started crocheting cloche-style hats (to cover the grey hair which is inevitable) and am now onto crocheted headbands. AM happy to share patterns.
I'd love to see what you are up to.
My question therefore is: What have you been up to and have you managed to finish any craft tasks started a long time ago?
