On Sunday the Honolulu Academy of Arts had a family event and they invited us Aloha Knitters to demonstrate and display our wares. I took along a few of my shawls and my spinning wheel made its first public appearance with me.
Dorothy and Veronica also brought along their wheels and we became a sort of row of spinning wheel soldiers. (I’m supposed to be in the middle.)
spinning!
May brought along her fabulous mutant bunny.

Teri brought her lovely afghan squares.

Patrice brought her gorgeous freeform crocheted pieces.

You can tell by the happy faces the demo was a success.

Despite grabby hands and parents that insisted we were spinning cotton, I had a really good time. I hope the Aloha Knitters get a chance to do more of these types of events. If you’d like to read more about it, the lovely Acornbud took some pictures of her own. I might even be in one of them.
I have a lot more catching up to do, but I think I’ll save that up for another day. I gotta ration out the blog fodder. ;-)
Happy Tuesday, everyone! Thanks for reading!
