Our program this month is: Yarn Rosettes
Just in time for the holidays, our wonderfully creative Guild member, Denise Stanton is walking us through making yarn rosettes. Perfect little flourish for those Christmas gifts, holiday sweaters and children’s accessories.
Please bring DK and/or Worsted weight yarn scraps, including art yarn. The funkier the better!
The guild will provide the cardboard looms and bent-tipped tapestry needles.
By the end of the morning you will go home with beautifully creative way to use up those odds and ends of your favorite yarns.

Please join us November 14-15 at the Alabama Fiber Festival at Cahaba Brewing Company, 4500 5th Ave South, Building C, Birmingham, AL 35222; 9:00 am – 5:00 pm.

November Ravelry Rumpus: Wolfenoot!
All right, dog lovers, this one’s for you! Tired of cute cats hogging all the yarn? Well, November 23 is Wolfenoot, a holiday created by a 7-year-old boy in New Zealand to celebrate canines, kindness, and kindness to canines. It’s also described as celebrating both our human and canine packs and making the world a better and kinder place to play with fiber.
All month long (not just November 23), post your pictures and projects in our Ravelry thread of dogs with yarn, dogs wearing yarny things, yarny things that look like dogs, you get the idea. Ravelry link: https://www.ravelry.com/discuss/greater-birmingham-fiber-guild/topics/4381949
