Quiet day

Hullo everyone

Thanks to Sandra S I have just realised that I am again behind with my admin in terms of Crafty Ladies.  My apologies to all.

Our next meeting will be on Saturday (15th August).  I have not got any workshop planned so once again, we will all just sit and do our own thing.  If you like I can repeat the beads workshop from last month.


Chainette Necklace (without the pendant)

 

ZigZag Bracelet

The Chainette kit costs R250 and the ZigZag Bracelet R340.  I will have the kits available should any one be interested.

I have not been neglecting you totally however, and have some stuff in the pipeline for the rest of the year.

I am hoping that Shirley will be able to give us a little talk about Pilates and a more healthy eating lifestyle in September (19th September).  It would also be great fun if we all did a few of the simple excercies to get a taste.  What do you think?  Don't get too bogged down on the "healthy" part of the talk - it is simply of interest to hear these things and in any case, most of us know them already but just need someone to remind us.  I can assure you that there will be no pressure or insistence that you need to make changes.  It remains a personal choice.  And the excercises are not very strenuous.  In my book, that's a bonus!

In October (17th October) Glynis Brooke is coming to give us a weaving workshop.  We will learn several techniques and be able to take home a small sample such as a table runner.  As soon as I have more detail, I will let you know.  Be prepared, however, for limited space for this one.  I have already booked my place because I have wanted to learn this craft since forever!  Who is joining me?

In November, (21st November) Linda Tacke is again coming to do a Wild Knitting Workshop for us.  We will be doing her Fragmented Tunic







This is what Linda has to say about it:

"The topic of the workshop is the exploration of the effects of combining short-rows with increases. The tunic is knitted in 4 squares for each front and back in sections of different colours and shapes.
You will need 2 - 4 main colours, a total of 400g and 100g of an accent colour in sock weight or fingering yarn. Knitting needles 4-4.5mm depending on yarn and personal knitting tension.

and of course: paper/notebook, pen/cil, stitch markers, tape measure, and whatever else you need for knitting.
 
I will have several yarns for sale that are well suited for the "Fractured tunic". "
 
This is a really lovely garment and a lot of fun to knit so think about it and let me know if you wish to join us.  The cost is R400 for the class.
 
I am going to leave this post here and hope once again for a lot of response and lots of ladies attending on Saturday!!  (The refreshments cost remains at R110)
