We really worked hard at the August meeting. Unfortunately, I only got one picture taken of Sandy's project. We worked on the rug and on assembling the knitted squares for the blankets for Linus project. I will try to take a few pictures here at home to show what we accomplished this month.

Sandy is working on a counted cross stitch picture of three adorable kittens. This is a labor of love.

Leslie, from the Groovy Knitters, chats with Ruth. Leslie is learning to spin.

Bob talks with Denise about the circular rug she has started using fabric scraps from her quilting.

We welcome Bob back after his knee surgery in June. Speedy recovery, Bob!

We have starte adding embellishments to our felted rug. Our goal is to sell the rug after displaying it. We have been given the month of January 2009 to use the display case at the Collingswood library to mount an exhibit about our guild. We also have permission to hang the rug above the circulation desk to display it. Put on your thinking caps. We will be working on the display at our meetings.

Ruth made a sweater from the Knitting Daily pattern called Central Park Hoodie

Linda took a turn at learning to spin. She made a very respectable skein of yarn. Lena just returned from a trip to her native country Sweden. Christiana sports a new hair-do! Very nice!! Terry brought Victoria and her bead store to our attention. Thank you Terry for introducing us to yet another great way to express ourselves by adding beading to our knitting/crocheting.

Victoria brought many samples of jewelry and accessories that she has made using beads and knitting. Thank you so much, Victoria, for coming out to our guild. Her finished was very inspiring.

Alice dazzles us all with her beautiful shawl.

We also had a guest speaker, Victoria Gray Harding from The Bead Cellar in Pennsauken on Westfield Ave. The number at the store is 856-665-4744. The web site is www.beadcellar.com
