Last Saturday was the end of the year meeting for the Arizona Desert Weavers and Spinners Guild. Each group there had a project that they had worked on out on display. The daytime spinners group had to make a weave a place mat out of their own handspun yarn to match a mug. My place mat is shown below. It was maid using cotton 10/2 for the warp and handspun Jacob's that I had plyed with handspun Merino. You can see a picture of the mug in the second photo. I just couldn't resist.
Maria was never afraid of making a skein in public. |
I came, I saw, I knitted...... |
These are the finished products from the daytime spinners group.

This was a seminar that taught how to dye, spin and weave using paper!
This is from a conference in Bisbee Arizona to learn how to weave rugs.

I love the mug, where can I get one?
Please disregard the previous from Juan, that is my son and I hadn't logged in on my own account. I sill would like to know where to get the mug.
I bought the mugs from an online store called Cafe Press. It's a very dangerous website!
