I am back from a perfectly wonderful meeting and chatty lunch at O'Charley's. At the meeting, we saw a portion of the Philosopher's Wool Fairisle Video, which was totally amazing. And I was pleased to note that the lady in the video had Sam the Ram sitting on her table.

A lady in our guild had brought a lace weight shawl she had knitted from black alpaca. It was stunning! She told us she only paid 2 dollars for the whole cone of alpaca. The shawl is probably worth 500, as beautiful and time intensive as it was. She told us it took her 9 months to make it.

And another lady brought some books to sell she no longer wanted. I got a Handspun Treasures from Rare Wools from Spin Off only gently used for 5 dollars! Also, she said Lucy Neatby has a new book. Yes, I want it!!
