Formerly called Yarn Ravelers, is the Wednesday, 6:30pm, textile craft gathering at the Deming Library, Deming, WA. We are a friendly, weekly bunch that craft and talk. No experience needed. Beginners welcome and you will find help learning basic knit and crochet technique. If we don't know something...we look it up at the library!

Tree of Life in the Summer
It's Autumn and it's finished!
This Tree of Life Afghan pattern was chosen for a Lion Brand Knit Along in 2008.
I got around to making it this summer using Pound of Love baby yarn (worsted weight) instead of Wool-Ease Fisherman's as was suggested.
It knitted up soft and very warm.
A very nice pattern by Nicky Epstein. She has several books of lovely projects at the library and/or you can get a free copy of this afghan at http://www.lionbrand.com/pattern

In those great ignorant leafy ways;
Remembering all that shaken hair
And how the winged sandals dart,
Thine eyes grow full of tender care:
Beloved, gaze in thine own heart.
Gaze no more in the bitter glass
The demons, with their subtle guile,
Lift up before us when they pass,
Or only gaze a little while.
From "The Two Trees" by W.B. Yeats
