Old Business: Our demonstration at the Crawford County Fair went well and yielded a beautiful article with color photos in the Meadville Tribune. Ann and Adrianne Hills updated us that our demonstration at the Fairview Farmer’s Market went well, and we may want to do the event again next year. Ann also confirmed we have space in the tent for our demonstration at Highland games next weekend. New Business: Marje Koehlert got a positive response to the idea of a presentation on woven locks/faux-fleece chair pads and agreed to try to schedule it. Show and Tell: Holly Smolinsky is working on a multicolored Woobles crochet kit; she’s starting on the body again after one false start. Kim Smolinsky reported having a phenomenal show at Stitchburgh, where she taught two classes: “Spin It,” and, “Bag of Fun.” She finished her red, mottled-white, and blue shawl and half a dozen beautiful skeins of handspun, passed two bags of “recycled wool” from Camaj Fibers, and spun wool from Holly’s sheep, Vivi, into singles. Tammy Tenpas completed a pair of striped Christmas socks, is working on delicately crocheted potholders, and won a Tybout House gift certificate for a works-in-progress challenge. She also brought her beautiful antique accelerator wheel. Along with doing the PA Yarn Crawl, Anne O’Boyle won grand champion in the dishcloth division at the Crawford County Fair and finished a shawl and a doily. Cate Johns visited Colorado and got “a ton of gorgeous yarn” in a yarn crawl of her own. She also did some tie-dying and saw a mountain lion while camping at a music festival. She reports, “You get cool about things in the mountains real fast!” Chris Cornell won the guild sponsored Best Handspun Item award at the fair for a sweater made from fiber she got in Alaska while celebrating her 50th anniversary. Marje Koehlert finished two baskets started with the Mercer guild as well as a lined sprang lace bag. She passed a scarf dyed robin egg blue with her homegrown indigo, and described a trip to the National Museum of the Coverlet in Bedford. Jennifer Ferrence is knitting a red, white and teal cardigan starting with a stretchy tubular binding. Maddie Mumford finished her never-ending Christmas stocking, then went on to deal with a lighthouse and a landscape that needed finished. Maddie also wove a colorful striped towel - part of a set of three - for her daughter, knit a very neatly done pair of dragonfly mittens, wove and knit projects to absorb an abundance of green yarn, and is working on her second assigned pooling project, “dandelions growing in a sidewalk crack.” Meghan Vorisek has three or four projects on the go. Multi-crafter Victoria Marsh is knitting a lacy leaf-edged wrap from her Tour de Fleece yarn. Adrianne Hills finished her Pierowall Fair Isle vest in 17 colors in time for her trip to Shetland Wool week, and she brought the first band woven on her new Glimakra band loom. Adrianne also completed a stunning, generously-sized Cockleshell scarf knit from lace-weight handspun. Ann Growley brought several small bags knit from scrap yarn as gifts for friends. Dianne Burnside brought a large stack of colorful dishcloths she’s been working on, the most recent one with scalloped edges.
