I realise that in order to become an active cog in the great yarn wheel I will need to get out there among it all.
So
my plan of action? To infiltrate the fiber industry one community group at a
time. Mwahahaha!!!!
Well,
Ok, it isn’t as sinister as it sounds; I just plan to become an active and
regular member of as many crafty gatherings as possible. Networking is the key
to success so they say!
The
main difficulty I have at the moment is that I work in a call centre until 8pm
every weekday evening so I miss a lot of local goings on but I will just have
to work around that for the time being.
I
did manage to go to the monthly meeting for the Mid Essex Guild of Weavers, Spinners
and Dyers recently however and that was marvellous. http://www.midessexguildwsd.org.uk/page2.html
It
was brilliant to be surrounded by so many crafty people; the moment I walked
through the door my ears were greeted by the chatter and buzz of the friendly
members and their whizzing wheels. I felt completely inspired.
Somehow,
scatter-brain that I am, I succeeded in forgetting to take my knitting with me.
This turned out to be a blessing in disguise because Aunty A let me get some
much-needed practice on her spinning wheel. As I struggled to get my hands and
feet to work the fleece and treadle, getting in a complete tangle, I was
showered in fantastic advice offered by some of the regulars who came over to
say hello.
I
have to admit, even with all this help, I ended up a tense, crippled form, my
nose pressed against the working bobbin and my neck completely seized up. It is
safe to say I did not achieve the relaxed, almost hypnotic technique the many
experts in the village hall were displaying that day. Never the less, I managed
to refrain from launching the wheel across the room in frustration so I feel I
did gain one small victory.

I look forward to returning to the Mid Essex Guild of Weavers, Spinners and Dyers meeting but I was a little saddened to see that although the hall was full to the brim I was the youngest attendee by a good number of years. I hate the thought of spinning, weaving and dying becoming a lost art and I am positive there must be people of all ages practicing these crafts.
I
will sit tight and hope to hear from you all soon!!
