The guild has members who do a variety of textile crafts, from spinning to dyeing, to knitting, to crochet, to felting, to weaving and embroidery. It seems if you do one textile craft, you do several.
The variety of things ranges from wearables to house hold textiles to whimsical. Functional to art.
The booth at Studio Fair had a great variety of things to choose from and while we did well there, a lot of inventory is left. We are hoping for more sales to come, which will help individuals buy more yarn, books, classes, and the guild to keep paying the rent on the room.
We are hoping for a return to more in-person events, but in the meantime we are looking for ways to help people learn, either through the informal drop ins or one on one assistance.
So far I've assisted two people from out of town or otherwise unable to get to Studio Fair or the guild room by being their 'personal' shopper, taking photos of what is available, then mailing their choices to them.
Just about to head to the guild room to get myself set up and ready for the day. I've got my knitting bag because it was the easiest to organize and I can set my knitting down and assist someone without worrying too much about setting it aside.
It's a grey gloomy day. Winter is definitely around the corner.
