No SNS this week!

I am moving out of state and Dana and I both are going to be gone this
weekend, so there will be no Sit N'Stitch this weekend.

Dana will still be doing SNS after I move, but any of you that come
don't need us to be there to get together.

Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New year.

Thanks for all the great fun and friendship! I will miss all you SNS
friends.

Now that fall is here

Won't you come join us for a cup or coffee (or hot chocolate) and a few rounds on your fall projects?

Take a break from the crazy world and come join us wild and crazy (in a good way) stitchers! We meet at Starbucks on Kickapoo in Shawnee from 1-3 on the 2nd and 4th Sat of the month. . Normally we sit back in the "nook" with the sofa. Come join us! We like new people, and if you are a stitcher it is even better!

We aren't gone. We're just slackers

Sorry we haven't posted anything since July.
We have had a few new memebers come and join us, and a few go missing.
We are still meeting at Starbucks on Kickapoo. (there are no other Starbucks in Shawnee)

We meet the 2nd and 4th Sat of each month from 1-3.

This month we will meet again Sep 22nd.

Wooly Knob Fiber Mill
Roving and Lopi style yarns. Our niche is 'junked' fiber. We throw in
all
sorts of things like cotton and rayon. Each roving varies. It could be a
natural color with chenille 'junk' carded in or a dyed color with cotton
threads, or the whole kitchen sink. Same with the yarns.

We will be picking up fiber to be processed

Pricing: Our pricing system is simple! We charge on incoming weight.

Effective March 1, 2007, it's $7.50 a lb. for wool and/or other types of
fiber.

This includes all camelid fibers, mohair, angora, and plant fibers such
as
silk and cotton.

Pre-washed Fiber will still be $6.00 a lb, HOWEVER...

our definition of prewashed does not include anything washed in Orvis.
Any fiber washed in Orvis will be charged at $7.50 per lb.
A simple hot water bath will remove a great deal of lanolin and grease,
reducing incoming weight and saving you money.

If you define your fleeces as prewashed, we will also assume that you
have picked out any or all vegetation. We will not "monkey groom" prewashed
fiber.

Please bring your fleeces to be picked up in plastic bags so Matt and
Jamie don't have to rebag them.

Summer metting changes

During the summer is seems the Geiger Center isn't always open so we are going to be meeting at the Starbucks on Kickapoo. Everyone is super nice there and you can get a good cup of coffee I am told.

If you have any questions let us know. Email me at doodlebirds@sbcglobal.net

Also don't forget about our yahoo group. Get auto reminders of meeting and if you like chat a little. It isn't a busy group so no need to worry about a ton of emails in your in box.

Meeting this Sat

There is a meeting this Sat. The Center *might* be closed, if so we may just sit outside or maybe go some place else. We are going to check.
If you have questions please let us know. You can email me, doodlebirds@sbcglobal.net if you have any questions.

New member

We had another new member, but since neither Dana or I where there we didn't get to meet her. I was out of town and I am not sure what happened to Dana.

So in two weeks we should be there, or that is the plan.
