The large open area was filled with clusters of knitters and spinners, what a wonderful group of ladies; we were very glad to be part of their venture today.
I spun a bobbin of Shetland today and used up so many words.......off to the couch and some knitting!

St Augustine Spin-In
Today I went to the annual Spin In with the ST Augustine Textile Guild held in the visitor center. I went with my friend Elayne and our husbands, both Bills! We had a wonderful time talking with the hundreds of visitors-this picture was taken near the end of our time when the crowd began to thin out-the rest of the time you couldn't have seen us because of all the people watching and asking questions! (Elayne to the left of the pic and me in the center, spinning friend and locally famous spinner, Barbara on the right and I am in the middle!

ReplyDeleteWhat a fun day - I know it was exhausting, but so many people got to see spinning for the first time. I'm curious what some of the most off-the-wall questions were.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, that looks like fun! Wish I could have come up for that
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had lots of fun and even dressed for the occasion:-) Someday, I've got to go to a spin-in!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun. I haven't done a demonstration for the public in a long time. They sure do keep you on your toes and ask a lot of questions some of which I couldn't answer.
