  October Guild Meeting - Halloween Party and Costume Contest

  NOTE:  LATE START due to library conflict. Doors open at 7:15 p.m. and we will get the party started ASAP. This is an in-person meeting only. No ZOOM option.
  

  Bring some spooky snacks or dastardly desserts to share for a potluck. BYOB (non-alcoholic only, it’s library rules).

  
  

  Fibers Costume contest: Dress up in a costume featuring something you

  made from yarn, or dress up as a skein of yarn! Wear anything fiber arts

  themed - let’s see your creativity (or maybe your skills with the mighty

  pun?)

  
  

  Jack o’ Yarn decorating contest: Lanterns are so old fashioned; why not

  use yarn instead? Bring a pumpkin that you decorated with yarn or felt.

  
  

  Guests are welcome to attend one meeting free of charge prior to joining the guild.

  CNCH Conference 2026

  Fiber Tales - Down the Rabbit Hole

  Asilomar, Pacific Grove, CA

  Coming your way, at a venue that inspires creativity, is a conference that dives into chain reactions we all experience. As Alice said, “I think I could, if I only knew how to begin.” Learning opportunities exist in 15 hour, 12 hour and 3 hour formats. Weaving, spinning, dyeing, felting, tapestry, and basketry adventures will be on the menu.
