Over 150 people attended this year's St. Distaff's Day in Mountlake Terrace on January 7th. This annual NWRSA event is sponsored by the 2010 group. It's a full day of spinning, chatting with fellow spinners, eating holiday goodies and shopping the booths of local vendors. Towards the middle of the day many door and raffle prizes are handed out to lucky participants. It was so exciting to see so many wheels and spindles going at once.

I couldn't believe how many spinning wheels were in that room! I just ducked in for a minute since we got a flat tire on each of our cars that day (cruel fate) and had to take them to Les Schwab, but it looked like everybody was having a great time.

Hi Vanessa. I noticed the sweater as well. I didn't ask but it looked machine knit to me. Yes, I'm going to Madrona again this year and taking most of Judith's classes so I'll see you there.
Lorraine, sorry to hear you weren't able to make it. Maybe next year. I just love knowing that we have that many spinners in this area.

I really wanted to go this year but ended up working that day again. Maybe next year. I guess I'll be seeing you at Madrona too.

I was there, it was just for a short time. I snagged a pound of superwash colonial roving and 5 ounces of nylon roving to add to sock yarn.
