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.

    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.
