FSOJ Week 39: Loren's Turk's Head Knot Workshop
FSOJ Week 39: Loren's Turk's Head Knot Workshop
Met Loren Damewood
Learned to make a Turk's Head Knot
Husband has new ring!
Just got back from a wonderful day taking a workshop with Loren Damewood Time constraints meant that I was only able to participate one of the two days, but it was still a blast.
The workshop was held at an old schoolhouse in Puslinch Township.
I recognized the place right away when I arrived. Turns out this is a Girl Guide camp where I went winter camping when I was a Girl Guide 30 some years ago. When I got out of the car, I looked around and wondered where the hill went - when I was camping here, there was a huge hill that we used to toboggan down. Well... 30 years later, it's all covered in trees!
Loren provided all of the tools:

Loren gave pointers as we went along:
And was nice enough to pose with me for a photo:
Here's my first Turk's Head Ring - lots of tool marks, but a good effort nonetheless! DH is pleased with his new ring!
DH and the boys spent Father's Day with Opa, and when I got back, I found them having a little snooze.
