September Herbology Class

September's Herbology assignment was to make a Hemp or Cotton Washcloth. Over 50 students were in this class. I had a HARD time picking my favorites out of so many good ones!

OpalsandPurls made this pretty one out of Lion Brand Cotton Ease.

My favorite September Transfiguration projects...

The assignment for September was to try and transfigure your yarn using a new technique that you hadn't done before. This is what some of you came up with...
