THURMAN CASEY LIBRARY 2661 Oak Grove Rd. Walnut Creek CA 7:30 pm, generally the last Wednesday of the month After many years of meeting at the Winslow Center in Pleasant Hill, we will be changing to the Thurman Casey Library as of the next meeting: September 29, 2010. Pleasant Hill is beginning a construction project which will run for the next 4 to 5 years and eliminates our meeting space for that amount of time. We are fortunate to get the library room, especially because its free. But we are not guaranteed to have it on the last Wednesday of every month. You will need to check this blog to make sure of the correct meeting date.

AUGUST 25TH MEETING Still at the Winslow Center: 7:30 PM Our first formal meeting for the "year" will feature "Dump Your Stash Day" and a "Fiber Exchange". Dump Your Stash You still have a week left to go through your collections of yarn, fiber, equipment, etc., and decide on what you no longer need. Bring it all to this meeting for a sale/swap - which ever you want to do. Fiber Exchange Pick out 4 oz. of a fiber that is already in your stash that you haven't gotten to and will never get to. Conceal it in a paper bag and at the meeting you will exchange that fiber for someone else's which just might spark your creativity. You'll then have a few months to spin [or felt] it up, blend it with another fiber or two, or whatever you come up with. There are no rules except to finish by the January 2011 meeting where we will have a big show & tell. This is a blind exchange - you don't know what you get till you open the bag. Olympia the lamb...
