| Phot from the Joy of Handspinning web site |
It's the third Wednesday of the month! This summer weather (well, it was sunny) has us all relaxing and the third Wednesday snuck up on me. Apologies for such a late posting. Bring your wheel, or your spindle, or your knitting, or a friend...and don't forget something for show and tell. Wednesday Nov 19th. 7 pm. Open to anyone. Not a spinner (yet) bring your knitting.
