Terry Villeneuve showed socks that she made on her sock knitter out of 75% bamboo, 25% nylon. She felt this yarn made a sock that was too heavy and drapey. She hand knit fingerless gloves, knitting them at the same time so that they would have matching stripes and use the same amount of yarn. She was working on another pair using yarn that she spaced dyed by dyeing sections of the yarn in a bucket.
Ruth Griffiths showed the necklace she beaded in a beadwork class. She brought a number of shawls and scarves that she dyed using osage orange, indigo, and madder grown in
Victoria. She had also dyed a cotton shawl in shibori technique by wrapping a madder dyed
shawl around a pole and dipping it into indigo.
Kirsten Friz wove a handbag out of blue hemp, linen and cotton in modified plain weave.
Marie Seabrook dyed a silk tunic by putting leaves on it and leaving it out in the sun.
