It is always a bit of a risk to bring in outside teachers. We know our Wild Purls teachers are well prepared, great knitters and have patience for a multitude of technical questions but a person from far away is a question. They might be a great technical person but don’t know how to laugh and make the class fun. Or they might be really fun but not patient. Whatever the case may be, we had a wonderful combination of all things positive with Marie Mayhew.

She was ready, willing and able to conduct a fabulous Friday evening demonstration.

A few mouths dropped open at her creativity. Some took it very seriously

and others just sat back and smiled.

Saturday morning rolled around and needle felted pumpkins began to take shape. The group was so happy with their needle felting that they were as pleased as pumpkin makers can be.

The afternoon of snowmen embellishing was a continuation of the fun and frivolity that had been happening since Marie arrived.

This group worked hard and created so darn many cute snow people, it’s hard to believe.

The word around Wild Purls is “When is she coming back to teach more classes?” Thank you Marie. A fabulous time was had by all. And just in case you’re wondering, we’d love to have you back this weekend!
