A few slightly over the top crafters who are young, hip, and happening have decided to start up a new guild that is inclusive of all types of fiber crafts. Our goal is to keep this guild alive after we are all gone and spread our love of fiber crafts to the young, disenfranchised, and too technologically advanced portions of our society who need to learn how to craft with their own two hands (and maybe some elbows, chins, and feet) and free their creative minds.
Some of our plans will be to demonstrate a variety of crafts at local festivals and local public libraries, and pretty much where we can find some place to set up some equipment to include but not limited to spindles, spinning wheels, looms, knitting needles, crochet hooks, and felting needles. We will also consider knitting machines and sewing machines. We are all fiber crafters after all.
There will be a team of posters to this blog and we will be keeping a calendar of events as time goes on.
It was decided that we would post some items that we each are working on to show our individual craftiness. We also hope to do some fundraising to get our organization off the ground and there is a serious rumor of a 2 day fiber event/market for the spring of 2012.
Welcome and please join us - especially if you have some serious skills to offer. We are looking for some enthusiastic people to be in on the ground stages of what we hope will be a grand adventure.
