Long overdue workshop pics

Here are some of the pictures from our purse workshop at the Knaughty Knitter back in the summer. We had a small but very fun workshop and had the neighbors coming over to check out what we were decorating the hedges with! (Mine is the smallest one! LOL) We did purses in one 6-hour day, and one vessel.

Just for fun

I wanted to share this photo - I took a purse workshop at the Black Sheep Gathering in Eugene, OR last summer, with Lori Flood. She does very cool work, and teaches a great workshop, if you ever have a chance to take from her. I am still using many of the techniques that she taught that day!

Washing & sorting wool
Picking wool

This will be a hands on demonstration with partipation of all students. If you are a beginner or if you know how to do some of these things, but not all and would like to learn, this is a great time to learn some new skills and at the same time have a good time with people with like interests. We will provide a lunch and all necessary tools & materials.
Fibers, wheels, accessories, books and fiber animals (sheep & angora rabbits) will also be for sale. You will not take home a finished project, but the skills necessary to do this on your own. You will take home a lot of information and knowledge. A finished project for each of you would take more than one day.
