The Slater Mill Spinners Guild was there in full force, working their magic. David Westcott patiently gave me a lesson on a drop spindle. He very quickly demonstrated, had me do it and magically worked it into a bracelet tied around my wrist. Don’t ask me how, or to repeat it. It was hypnotic!
Prolific authors and designers, Cecily Glowik MacDonald and Melissa LaBarre were on hand Saturday to sign their books New England Knits & Weekend Hats. They had samples of their beautiful work and individual patterns as well. I had not seen The Plucky Knitter yarn in person before this, and it is absolutely phenomenal. Melissa had a beret and scarf made up with it. Instant covet! They are amazingly talented each on their own – and the two in collaboration are unbeatable!
Helen Bingham‘s class was her “Cuff Link” pattern – an introduction to knitting with beads.
Slater Mill, Pawtucket Rhode Island, 4th Annual Knitting weekend. Some images I took on the grounds and inside the original structure from 1793. A beautiful space.
