Sheep Group

Sheep outing to Hopland Field Station this Sunday February 1

Meet at Bean Affair (used to be Wolffe Coffee) at 9am. Dress warm. We should be back in Healdsburg by 1 or 1:30.

Start an outline of the informational poster you will be making to take to fair(s). This should be sheep related. Some ideas are uses of wool, gestational cycle, fencing, housing, uses in farming, breeds, growing a lamb, types of feed.

Fiber Arts Meeting!

The Fiber Arts group will meet at 2:00-4:00 on Saturday, January 31st. Our meeting will be held at the Village Yarn Store, which is in the Village Sewing Center at Coddingtown Mall. I thought it would be fun for everyone to see the types of yarns that are available now! We will all be picking out yarn and needles for your first knitting project! You should be able to purchase both yarn and needles for under $20.

Here are a few fun knitting links you all might enjoy:

Ravelry - sort of a Facebook for knitters and crocheters. There is a good sized group of high school aged knitters. Sign up to receive an invitation. It takes about a week and the wait is very much worth it!

knitty magazine - free patterns for knitting. You may recognize the face on the winter cover! Here is a pattern that was designed by a high school girl.

Twist Collective - sort of a pattern catalog of sorts. Fun to look at for inspiration.

Knitter's Review - reviews, forums, and articles.

See you soon!
