In other news, it is now officially Fall 2022, unless you are in the Southern Hemisphere, where it is officially spring. For those who like to count threads and other things, it has been 24 months since we learned that Zoom is a thing we can do, online workshops work, and that fiber sharing and learning can stretch all the way around the globe! We’ve been weaving, and felting, and knitting, and crocheting, and dyeing and more.
We have kept our fiber community strung together (pun intended) even when we couldn’t physically be together. Can we keep that community together as group gatherings become the norm? I, for one, will continue to enjoy Program Speakers we wouldn’t be able to bring here, and stay connected with weaving pals I wouldn’t know if we hadn’t been forced to try a new way of meeting. Still, it is such a relief to have options, and employ the “Weavers Handshake” (If you know, you know) once again.
Warmly,
Carol Berry
2022-2023 President, Whatcom Weavers Guild
