The presentation to the Salem Millstream Fiber Guild today was very fun! It was the first time that we have brought so much of the reef parts together in one room and it made me very happy to see it all together and to have such a positive reaction from folx who are ready to create and donate. We now have a new donation site at Teaselwick Wools in Salem. The Guild also put up a page on their website with knitting and crocheting patterns and info on the project.
I’m also reaching out to fiber festivals throughout the PNW to see if I can get an informational table and bring some reef bits along to inspire people. It’s a case of “be careful what you wish for”. Since all but a couple of them are out of town, it would mean getting some hotels and spending some long weekends. We’ll see how it goes.
The lovely folx in Salem also donated a huge box of yarn to the cause so if anyone is in need of some yarn, first come, first served! Just let me know. If you are in the Lincoln City area, you can stop in to the Lincoln City Cultural Center and help yourself to donated yarn there.
