You'd think at least one person would, and that would start a trend. (Maybe YOU should.) I know in our knitting guild you couldn't stop them from doing whatever they wanted whenever they wanted. I'm surprised no one has started spinning during our knitting guild meeting.</p> Well, they SHOULD spin at the meetings. You’d think at least one person would, and that would start a trend.

She's a great enabler, isn't she? I've been part of the Coquitlam guild for about a year now and noticed that no one spins at the meetings. A few of us bring our knitting but most people just sit there. I asked about that and was told that it's WEAVERS and Spinners guild. Most of the people are weavers first then spinners. I heard it's the same for the Vancouver guild.</p> Irene was my spinning teacher too! She’s a great enabler, isn’t she?

I went to my first spinning guild meeting a few weeks ago with my wheel in the back of my car prepared just in case everyone was spinning. And there was no one spinning. I also took my knitting, just in case. It ended up being a lecture about weaving in Guatemala, and no one was spinning, they were all knitting. They have small study groups when people actually get together and spin. I figured there would be more actual spinning taking place, too.</p> You are not a complete knob.

Anyone could have expected to spin at a spinning guild meeting. Anyway, congratulations on your membership, and enjoy the discounts.</p> Who would blame you?

Members of our guild (the Langley Weavers and Spinners) used to bring their wheels to meetings. Each meeting there would easily be three or four women with their wheels and another two or three with drop spindles. For an entire year our regular meeting place was not available and we had to meet in a much smaller location, so women got into the habit of just bringing their knitting along. I'd like to get back to bringing spinning cause that's a great chance for the newer members to see work in action. So, good for you for bringing your wheel, I will make sure that I bring mine to our next meeting as well.</p> It’s an odd thing, this spinning at spinning meetings.

That's something that I never made it through. Got a book and kit a few years back for Christmas and never got going. Like most things, I was probably choosing the hardest pattern first!</p> Bobbin lacemaking. That’s something that I never made it through.

I assumed a spinning guild would be somewhat like a stitchnbitch where everyone brings their projects and compares notes. I'm glad you had some fun with the bobbin lace.

I have been toying with joining the one here in CT and I asked someone I know who is a member and she said almost everyone brings their wheel. I think it was a perfectly just assumption on your part. :)</p> I don’t think all spinning guilds are like that.
