Sharing is one of the big benefits of guild meetings and that is especially true for study group meetings. Recently, a member mentioned online that she is interested in knitting with beads. A few days later at the spinning study meeting, Deborah Naramore (far left) brought six amazing hand-knitted and beaded shawls with packages of the beads she used, the patterns, and a tiny crochet hook to demonstrate how she places the beads as she knits. YouTube is great, but getting to ask questions and hold beautiful things in your hands is so much better.
The Knitting Study Group meets in person on the second Wednesday of every month at 10:00am at St. Peter the Apostle Catholic Church in Hoover, in the library.
The Spinning Study Group meets in person on the fourth Wednesday of every month at 10:00am at St. Peter the Apostle Catholic Church in Hoover, in the Holy Family room. There is a roll call a few days before every meeting on the guild members' Facebook group.
