2022 Fiber Challenge & December 2022 Show-and-Share

In May of this year we started a Fiber challenge. The same fiber was given to every one who signed up to take part in the challenge, we had around 20 people sign up. We showed off the projects as our December program. Here are the guidelines that were given:

You can combine it in any way you choose to create something unique to you: spin it, knit with it, incorporate it into a weaving, felt with it, wrap it, …you name it, you do it. We are asking everyone to take a few notes as to how you decided to create what you did and take a few pictures as you go along to document how you got to your finished masterpiece! We will share it at the December meeting as the program.  It will be fun to see what we all come up with.

Thanks to Martha Lumia for organizing the challenge.
