Then it was time to start the rug stomp we had planned. The part that we missed getting a picture of was the pattern which will be the top when it is finished. Once the pattern was down, we spread out the layers of carded raw wool in a criss cross pattern. Then a fine mesh screen was placed on the top of all the layers.

Bernadette was even able to do some spinning before the wind started picking up.

Alice proves that you can knit in any weather. All it takes is a great pair of knitted gloves. Anyone can do it!

Isabel and her mom, Barbara braved very chapped hands and helped people make felted soaps. A $1.00 donation for each soap was accepted which was donated to the American Cancer Society. We were able to send $23.00 to them to help with the fight against cancer.

November 3rd might have been just another Saturday to some people but, to the Collingswood Fiber Arts Guild it was our premier appearance at the Collingswood Farmers' Market. The weather was cold, damp and at times rainy but, our spirits were not. Jody brought her loom. Sandy brought her lap weaving. Bernadette's dolls made an appearance as well (and they brought donuts, imagine that). Alice, from the Groovy Knitters (also a Collingswood group) came to help us out as well.

Here is one of Sandy's finished mats done with the lap weaving loom.

Sandy's uncle got her started on lap weaving.
