Marilyn hosted our May get together at her house in Topeka on Sunday. What can say that I haven’t said before — it’s a wonderful and inspiring group of women with a variety of interests that are brought together by their love of fibers and spinning. No matter how stressed I’ve been, I can sit and spin with this group for three hours and leave relaxed and happy (and full, as we’re all foodies). If someone doesn’t know a technique, there will always be someone else in the group that has an answer and the knowledge, there’s always encouragement and excitement as skills improve and always envy and admiration as plied yarn comes off a wheel.
I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves . . .

Drop spindle, knitting and spinning — can life get much better?!

Denise, it was great to finally meet you too! The pups are healing quickly and Louis loses the collar today — yipee!

Hey, I was wondering when the August get together will be? I ran into a Spinster at the farmer’s market, and she suggested I come to a meeting, to help me learn. Thanks!
