Woolgatherer October 2020 The Woolgatherer www.thsg.org October, 2020 Volume XLVII, No.2 President’s Message Lura Moore Greetings Guild Members ! I hope those of you who participated in last week’s virtual Guild meeting enjoyed seeing many of your friends and acquaintances, catching up on your Guild’s “doings” and sharing in our favorite pastime “Show and Share”. Your Board members received a number of positive messages for our first effort. Thank you to members who took the time to take some photos of their summer projects and submit them to our “production team”. We plan to repeat the “Show and Share” and WE NEED YOU to join in the fun by providing photos and information on your work. We would like to thank Karen Herhold for being our “Sunshine Lady” these past few years –many members and their family members have felt the support and caring thoughts of our Guild by virtue of the lovely cards Karen sent to them. Thank you Karen! We have all been hopeful that we could beat this virus and return to “normal”. Sadly for now, we must continue to follow Covid cautionary measures. Our members’ health and well-being are our first priority and we must act accordingly. Therefore, we have canceled the November workshop, Linen and Lace with Suzie Liles due to our concerns over the round-robin format and social-distancing. Lita will be posting the information on October’s Show and Share and setting up the reservation list for that ZOOM meeting on our website. Meanwhile, stay safe and healthy! Lura Note: Please read pp 14-23 on THSG communications and using the website! Very valuable info!! 2 Tucson Handweavers and Spinners Guild, Inc.

Our Membership Renewal period is in full swing. To date, we have 105 members for the 2020-2021 year. Granted we are down significantly from our total of 234 members last year, but the Board planned for a reduction this year due to our move to a virtual platform. We budgeted for 100 members, and we have now exceeded that which points to the resiliency and faith of our members even in the face of a pandemic. As folks get more used to the ease of the virtual platforms, we hope more of you will rejoin us. Just to remind you all, THSG dues for the 2020-2021 year are due in September and delinquent October 31. Dues can be paid by accessing our website home page and going to JOIN US / RENEW. There, you can either pay through PayPal or download a PDF form and mail your check to the address on the form. After October 31, if dues are unpaid, you will be dropped from the membership roster. This means you can access the website but NOT the members area. We have two new members this month: Ruth Greenspan and Linda Nelson. Welcome to both of you, and here’s to meeting up on Zoom! Standards Committee The Standards Committee is not meeting until further notice. Note: Jury Application Forms can be found in the Members Area of our website, at the bottom of the page, under "Standards Study Group Criteria." We will be updating that information as circumstances dictate. Sunshine Committee New “Sunshine Lady” We are pleased to announce that Mary Ann Oldham, a newer member from Ajo, has volunteered to serve as our new “Sunshine Lady”. She enjoys making cards and felt it was a win-win being our “Sunshine Lady” which would allow her to support the Guild and get to make her cards. If you know of a member who has had an illness, surgery or lost a loved one, please e-mail Mary Ann at [email protected] Thanks, Mary Ann! 3 Tucson Handweavers and Spinners Guild Board Members and Appointees 2020/2021 Officers: President: Lura Moore [email protected] Co-President: Open 1st Vice President: Diane Bull [email protected] 2nd Vice President: Caryn Stedman [email protected] Secretary: Cynthia McDaniel [email protected] Treasurer: Cathy Thompson [email protected] Standards Chair: Sarah Sammons [email protected] Committee Members: Joyce Boyle [email protected] Lindy Brigham [email protected] Janet Davis [email protected] Linda Dewey [email protected] Donna Fischer [email protected] Bobbi Hill [email protected] Mary Alice Wagner [email protected] Appointees: Arizona Federation: Ed Koharik [email protected] Electronic Media Chair: Lita Doesken [email protected] Facebook: Lita Doesken [email protected] Ravelry: Diana Manning [email protected] Instagram: Helen Kennedy [email protected] Historian: Open Hospitality: Judith Austen [email protected] Librarian: Adrienne Prince [email protected] Meet and Greet: Maddie Tsurusaki [email protected] Membership: Maddie Tsurusaki [email protected] Newsletter Editor: Mickey Pennington [email protected] Outreach: Susan Rondeau [email protected] Philanthropy: Jane Gilbreath [email protected] Sales Event: Lura Moore, Judith Shangold [email protected] Sunshine: Mary Ann Oldham [email protected] Update Editor: Susan Oates [email protected] Workshops: Cathy Thompson [email protected] Study Group Coordinators: The study group coordinators and their contact information are listed in the meeting announcements for the respective study groups and can be found in Calendar for THSG Events as well as online at thsg.org 4 OPEN POSITIONS FOR THIS YEAR THSG is seeking members to fill the following positions starting July 2020.

So why include this semi- crochet hat on our new knitting web site? Because I‘ve had more people ask me to make them this hat than any other project I’ve knit - ever. To be honest, it’s the long colorway changes that make it so beautiful, not any ingenious designing. It’s gotten to the point where I can finish one in less than two hours. The perfect emergency gift. I had so much fun with them that I made six of them as gifts for my daughter and nieces - each in a different color way.This resulted in at least six more since everyone that sees one has to have one.

He goes every year, and I’ve grown accustomed to not hearing a peep out of him as he takes in all that the show has to offer. But this year, I got a text. It was a photo of a man dressed like Batman. There was no accompanying explanation. I have no personal con- nection with Batman, so I wasn’t sure why he’d sent it to me, but then I looked more closely at the photo. The man was wearing an entirely crocheted costume! So I put the photo up on Yarn Market News’s Facebook page. (For those who saw it: yes, I pretended for the sake of a FB post that I took the photo myself.) I thought it was such a fantastic costume, and hoped I’d get some likes. Responses started rolling in, faster than I usually get on Facebook posts. A few people thought it gave crocheters a bad name.
