Spindles & Flyers Spinning Guild

Guild Meeting – June 28 at 11 AM 

Sit Some / Spin Some / Snack Some / Yak Some


Before our guild tag line of “spinning around Berkeley” and before we printed tote bags with “Got Wool?” there was “Sit Some / Spin Some / Snack Some / Yak Some.”  Some consider this the best of all days:  great company, food and yarn production. 

 

Could we want more? 

 

To learn more about each other and to share more of what we know with each other, come prepared to ask or answer two questions: 

·         Ask me about . . .

·         I’m interested in . . .

We’ll have some name tags and pens available.  Ravelry name buttons encouraged!

Think of this guild meeting as our own Spinners Picnic at Retzlaff Winery or Westside Farms, a Spinners Gathering with purpose but no shopping.  Please bring some food and drink to share, some interesting spinning and your preferred spinning device(s).  If the weather is conducive, we could move our wheels outside. 

 

Things to Bring to Guild Meeting

·         Spinning wheels and current project

·         S&F tote bag with SS/SS/SS/YS

·         Finger food to share

·         Natural fiber yarn contribution for Save the Fleece scarf

·         Library materials to return

·         Lunch and mug for coffee / tea

 

 

Does anyone still have a S&F tote bag printed with Sit Some / Spin Some / Snack Some / Yak Some?
