…was had by all. ;o)
Recently my friend Tina hosted the 2nd Annual Stir-Crazy Stitch and Spin in Athens, NY. The plan was to take over the Athens Cultural Center for the day, and take over we did. There were easily 15 people in there when I got there, and more arrived soon after!
The drive over was beautiful – a clear, sunny day:
I brought Mabelle, because I am a glutton for punishment and because I had a sherpa for the day (and a photographer, so you might even see a photo of ME in this post!). I was spinning a Spunky Club fiber on her:
Even Millie’s doggie Neula was having a lovely day, enjoying the sun:
There was spinning:
and more spinning:
…and maybe some shopping:
EVERYONE had to have a Stitched bag!
As the day passed, we formed a circle:
R took the boy twin for a walk when he got bored (when they both got bored, hehe)
(so…uhm…Mom? What are the rules again? Trees are…okay? Or did you say *not* okay. Ewpsies. )
I may have helped out a fellow spinner with a bit of…*ahem* lubrication:
and I think I can honestly say that everyone enjoyed themselves. :o) Next year? I’ll bring a smaller wheel…though it was nice to hide behind Mabelle when I got a bit overwhelmed. ;o)
Oh! I almost forgot! Happy Paddy’s day! Didja have a Guinness?
Me loves when you lubricates them shafts.

And yet I somehow managed to not be in a single photo… I’m like the stealth hostess! LOL I’m really glad you came and had a good time, you know I give you props for facing down the bridge! And no wonder you got overwhelmed, there were over 30 people there by the time we reached critical mass.
And also, thank you for donating a bag to the door prize raffle, we raised a good deal of money that day with your help.

Nice photos and such a great day!
I love those sort of days! Sounds like lots of fun and I wish it wasn’t quite so far from me.

Nothing better than a spin in with friends!
Looks like a lot of fun.

I love the action photos – and of course the ladies pullin bags and big smiles. They should be smiling. Fantastic bags!!!
Wow! Looks like you had a great day. Spinning is so fascinating to watch. One of these days I’d like to try it. My knitting ‘to-do’ list is so long at this point, I can’t imagine taking anything new on until it shinks a bit, though!

Looks like it was lots of fun! But now it makes me want to dust off my wheel again…
