Viking knit program

During the January 5th meeting, guild members had a great time learning about the history of Viking knitting and its relationship to nalbinding, a fiber technique which preceded knitting, and then getting some hands-on experience.

Most people finished their bracelets before the meeting ended, and several modeled their new jewelry!
