Guild Zoom Meeting - Watch for your email invitation
The last Tuesday of every month except December has long been an evening guild members would gather together to work (spin, knit, weave, ....) and chat. It is time to do it again - this time virtually to keep everyone safe and avoid that night time drive.
All current guild members will receive an invitation to the zoom event on the last Tuesday of the month. Non-members are welcome to join in - send an email to dropin@vhwsg.ca to request an invitation.
There is no "agenda" - just drop in from home while you are working and have a chat. It is a good time to ask questions about the guild or your work. If the crowd is large, we can arrange for smaller groups to to chat in break out rooms. Other details will evolve as we meet and experience this new Drop-In format.
This event is supported by the VHWSG but is open to all spinners on Vancouver Island, Lower Mainland and the Islands in between.
A “Sheep to Shawl” is an event at which spinners begin with a newly shorn and skirted fleece and end up with a finished shawl! Loads of fun to work with a team – together or apart. A Visual Record of the project is a new part of the fun. Registration is limited to 10 teams. Registration opens April 1, ends July 1st. Shawls must be received by the judges by August 31st, 2021. This will be a summer project, beginning in May when the sheep are shorn to be completed by August 31 – all fleeces raised on Vancouver Island.
Jon Hetts is the force behind ULA + LIA, a Mongolian fibre endeavour that integrates the world of the animal herders with the processing of the fibre and the creation of yarn and textiles in Ulaanbaatar (capitol of Mongolia), and the eventual sale in country and worldwide. His presentation will provide background into the lives of the Mongolian people who work with the animals – goats (cashmere), yaks, camels and sheep, how the fibre is collected and processed, etc. and how he came to be involved in this enterprise in this part of the world. There will be lots of photographs!
Saturday April 24 from 1:30 to 3:30
Come for a few minutes or stay for 2 hours. You will need to have a computer with Zoom (video and audio capabilities). Members will automatically receive a Zoom invitation.
Non-spinners are welcome. Just bring your knitting or set up your tablet beside your loom.
If you want to bring a friend to check us out, let the organizing committee know at spinin@vhwsg.ca and we will send your friend an invitation link.
